That is not how they show on the screen. I renamed an older backup file (with this issue) to a new name so I could look at it. Looking at the price data base for this one CAD stock, there is one entry for USD and about 20 entries for CAD. The USD entry says user:split-import with a date of 2024/01/23. There is also a CAD entry with the same date that says user:split-register. There is one CAD entry with an earlier date (2024/01/03), also user:split-register. There are many CAD entries with later dates that say: user:split-register There are many CAD entries with later dates that say: Finance::Quote Each of the user:split-register price entries correspond to a Buy of that stock. Another person is doing these stock transactions. They provide me with the QIF files. In general, each weekend, I do: File: Import: Import QIF of the stock transactions that took place the previous week for a specific account. I do that for each of several accounts in several files/books. I then try to run a Price update (does not always work). In looking at the GBP stock with this issue, I see three USD entries and six GBP entries in the price history. One USD entry is a user:price-editor. The other two USD entries have both a USD and a GBP entry on the same date. The GBP entries are: user:split-register The USD entries are: user:split-import I was using GnuCash 4.14 on Fedora Linux 37 I am now using GnuCash 5.9 on Fedora Linux 40 I probably changed four months ago. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
