Dear John, Thanks for your time again. I uploaded the video, test.gnucash and the test.csv file used to import the example transactions to my Network Accesible Storage. You should have public access here:

Not that it matters, I get the same results either way. To > your question about which box is on the left, it depends on the > setting/Preference Accounts>Use formal accounting labels.
