   No, it will NOT recognize!
   all red transaction which I check as "new" are imported to the
   "Ausgleichskonto", which is useless.
   All transactions look the same in my csv-file. But 10% are not
   recognized by the correct debit account!
   This import routine is buggy!!
   I give up - gnu cash sucks!!

 I have over 30 000 transactions!
 even IF it were just 2% it would be impossible to do manually..

One match might cover 100's of transactions. Import your file in small batches s
o the match will recognise transactions in future batches.

[GNC] Changing Global Font to Aptos Narrow

[Gilberto Reis Filho]

Hello. I cannot change the global font of Gnucash to Aptos Narrow. I use
the gtk-3.0.css method.

This is the current contents of the css text file:

*{
  font: 10pt calibri, sans-serif;
}

If I change "calibri" above to "aptos" it works fine. If I change it to
"aptos narrow" ou "aptos-narrow" it does not work.

The Aptos Font Family is installed system wide.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards.

Maybe you need to enclose the font name in quotes, since it contains a 
space? "aptos narrow" instead of just aptos narrow. That's what I had to 
do to use "Lucida Grande"

Re: [GNC] deleting empty items in a split

[David Carlson]

If you take a moment while editing a multi-line transaction to be sure
there is no residual balance at the bottom with no account assigned before
hitting Enter, all is good.

A trick I found recently is to highlight the unassigned value at the
bottom, then (Ctrl)Copy, move the curser to the line where the correction
should go, then (Ctrl)Paste.  The unassigned value will disappear.  You may
need to include a plus or minus sign if there is already a value present.
Note that if there are values on both sides, GnuCash reduces them to a
single positive value.  Easier than using a minus sign!

Re: [GNC] deleting empty items in a split

[William Prescott]

It happens to me once in a while as well. However, it is easy to delete the 
line. If your cursor is in the imbalance line, clicking on the delete button 
will delete the line. If your cursor is on the first line of an entry, the 
delete button deletes the whole transaction.

Best wishes,
Will

I have had this problem as well -- usually when I am entering split data
and forget to replace the Imbalance or Orphan line with the correct

Split" and it removes only that entry; the option "Remove Other Splits"

I usually sort by description (click on the column header) select multiple
transactions (use the mouse to drag from start to end) and assign to
account (right click the block of transactions).

Re: [GNC] Import troubles

[David Cousens]

Alois,

As Derek pointed out your screenshot showed that you have an older non-
Bayesian matching system selected. The Bayesian matching is much better
but it is a learning algorithm.

To enable Bayesian matching, select Edit->Preferences (Bearbeiten-
>Einstellungen)from the  menu and select the Import tab in the
dialogue. Check the third checkbox down labelled "Use bayesian
matching" ("Bayesianisches Matching verwenden"). my translations into
German may not match the official translators.  

The original non-Bayesian matcher which you are using is a relatively
crude process and I would not recommend using it in preference to the
Bayesian matcher. AFAIK it is the default matching algorithm which is
set when GnuCash is  installed.

When you haven't imported any data previously GnuCash has no
information on which to base its decision making so it may frequently
make incorrect assignments. But it builds frequency tables of the
occurrence of words, amounts etc  in the data fields of the imported
transactions. Once those tables start to build up and get data in them,
GnuCash will use them to assign an account based on the probability
tables of that data occurring in a transaction being imported and once
it is trained on the imported data it usually has a high rate of
success. 

When I import my credit card and savings account data out of a couple
of hundred transactions a month I might have to manually assign 3-4
transactions, quite often because the vendor includes a number which is
meaningful to them in the description field which changes every month
rather than a fixed number.

This is why people have been recommending to initially import small
batches of data. The Bayesian frequency tables are added to in the last
step of the import process.  If you don't complete an import then no
data is stored. If you import data with incorrect account assignments,
then yo train the Bayesian matcher to make incorrect assignments. With
small batches of data it is easier to make the corrections in the
import process.

Once you have the matching process working fairly well, then you can
increase the batch size and there will be fewer errors but it is
unlikely there will ever be no matching errors or incorrect decisions
on whether to import or not.  There is no automatic import process
which will give you a zero error rate and it is important to manually
correct those errors in the import matching process itself at each
import and not to correct them later manually in the register as doing
that does not construct the frequency tables on which the matching
process relies. This matching process has a number of functions,
detecting duplicates, deciding whether to import all the data or just
the description data if an imported transaction matches an existing
transaction in GnuCash, assigning the account for the second entry
(split) of a transaction when that data does not exist in the import
file.

The import matcher does have the ability to select multiple
transactions using the CTRL key and assign a single transfer account to
the selection. This is mainly of use when importing transactions from a
bank in assigning the expense income accounts and may be less relevant
where you are importing data from another accounting system.

Where both accounts for a transaction are specified in the import file
Gnucash has to match an account name in the import file to an internal
account name the first time it encounters a particular name in the
import file. Once that match has been made it it will use the assigned
internal account each time that name occurs in the account fields of
the data being imported.

I assume you read the documentation on the import process? Chapter 6.16
covers importing transactions in various formats. It should be
available on line in both English and German. 

The learning curve with GnuCash can be steep, particularly if you are
used to the foibles of other accounting software but it is worth the
initial effort and consequent frustration longer term.

I have had this problem as well -- usually when I am entering split data

Re: [GNC] deleting empty items in a split

[Mark at Lorimark]

Hi Jon,

Can you "jump" to the other side of that zero-dollar entry, and delete 
it there?

Re: [GNC] deleting empty items in a split

[Stephen M. Butler]

I find that viewing the transaction from the account for one of the 
non-zero splits (and showing all splits) that I can click on the 
extraneous split so it is in focus and then click the delete menu item 
in the top bar.  Or, right click while hovering over that split and 
select the Delete Split from the pop-up box.

How are you entering these transactions? In my experience the imbalance split 
only appears if I commit the transaction (by pressing enter) before I have all 
the splits balanced. I usually tab between the fields, or select with the 
mouse, and only press enter when I have the transaction fully entered and 
balanced.

Re: [GNC] deleting empty items in a split

[R Losey]

Hello.

I have had this problem as well -- usually when I am entering split data
and forget to replace the Imbalance or Orphan line with the correct
account. You can right-click over any unwanted account and select "Delete
Split" and it removes only that entry; the option "Remove Other Splits"
deletes all of the splits.

Re: [GNC] deleting empty items in a split

[Stan Brown (using GC 4.14)]

John,

Use the Tab key, not the Enter key, to move between fields.

With the Tab key, the transaction is not committed, but any arithmetic
in the amount of the split is performed. (Example: 250*1.0825 is
replaced by 260.73.) If there is an imbalance it shows up at the bottom,
in one of the two amount columns, without any account.

With the Enter key, the above happens, but the transaction is committed.
Since every split must have an account specified, GC assigns that slit
to the Imbalance account.

To prevent that happening, never hit the Enter key as long as there is
an amount showing in the transaction with no account.

If you have already committed the transaction:
1.  adjust whichever amount(s) need to be fixed, which will create
another split with no account.
2. Click on the Imbalance split and select Delete from the icons at the
top of the window.
3. If your arithmetic was correct, the entered splits with account names
are now balanced, so not only the Imbalance split but the new split with
no account should now disappear.
4. Press Enter to commit the corrected transaction.

Re: [GNC] Import troubles

   NO! Because there are thousands of transactions that Gnu cash doesn't
   import correct - dispite that all transaction have a debit and a

   Even worse:

   You can't even select multiple transactions :-/

Re: [GNC] Import troubles

[Brad Morrison]

Hi Alois/GNUCash users, 

It is understandable that you are disappointed with the difficulties
importing the transactions that you want into GNUCash. 

GNC is limited by funding constraints and development constraints, but
if you would like to donate some money to improve GNUCash, it would be
much appreciated! https://www.gnucash.org/donate.phtml 

David Carlson reported that QIF imports are broken for GNC version 5.10,
so you might want to wait for version 5.11 or revert back to version 5.9
- https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Bugzilla &
https://www.gnucash.org/download.phtml 

Some basics: 

What operating system are you using? 

What version of GNUCash are you using?
