Thanks Adrien. Every year I need to send my data to my accountant who does not (yet) use Gnucash. I did not have any success exporting to .qif files: not sure why. (Would not read into Quickbooks) I thought a spreadsheet might be better way to go.
This is a new accountant because my last accountant retired (at 85! & still runs a farm: tough people these rural folk). Previously I supplied hard copy reports because they were old-school. The new accountant is quite happy for electronic version, but last year I had no success with her reading my files. Basically, I have always prepared a report on each account for the 12 months which detail my tax deductible transactions. I am no accountant, & even tho I have used Gnucash for years, I still have issues every tax year but usually bumble through. regards, Doug On Tue, 3 Sep 2019 13:14:05 -0500 Adrien Monteleone <adrien.montele...@lusfiber.net> wrote: > Regarding the export, > > What is the purpose of the export and what data are you trying to get out? > (there might be a way to craft a report in GnuCash that shows the same info) > > What are the steps you are currently taking to do the export? > (copy/paste/save report results or export -> CSV) > > Finally, what spreadsheet app are you using to read the exported data? > (Libreoffice Calc, Gnumeric, something else?) > > Regards, > Adrien > > > On Sep 3, 2019 w36d246, at 7:26 AM, Doug <lema...@internode.on.net> wrote: > > ... > > > > I have had little success exporting successfully to a spreadsheet, but that > > is probably my lack of skills.
