I am trying to import several hundred transactions from several CSV files. Each CSV file will be imported to one Bank account and each file has a column with the Transfer Account for each Transaction; e.g. Another Bank, Salary, Interest etc (using the full account names).
In the CSV importer, I select the Bank account that I want to import the transactions to, and I select "Transfer Account" for my Transfer Account Column and click on Next. I get two columns: "Account ID" - which shows the Full Account Names for the Transfer Accounts and "Account Name" which shows "No Linked Account" for each transaction. I then need to click on "No Linked Account" for each transaction and specify the Account names again; i.e. Bank 2 -- Bank2 Salary - Salary Interest - Interest etc. I click on next twice and I could then import my transactions. I choose to cancel at that point because I have now told GnuCash that Bank2=2, Salary=Salary, Interest=Interest etc... In the import Map Editor (non-Bayesian) it now shows that Bank2 matches Bank2; Salary matches Salary, Interest matches Interest, etc.. Thus, if I now import my different bank accounts from the different CSV files, the Transaction Accounts are recognized I can import each CSV file directly. My question is: Why do I need to link the Transaction Accounts to themselves? I had expected GnuCash to recognize the Transaction account names in the Transaction Account Column. Is there maybe a different way of doing this so that the training/linking is not needed? _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
