Hi, Thanks for the suggestions and some more definitions about QIF and CSV importers. Bottom line for me on my LM 19.2, other than the QIF importer none of the other techniques work on my Win or Linux machines. On my linux box, the program itself did not work although I did get a clean cmake inst

It's unfortunate but successfully importing a lot of data often requires a fairly detailed knowledge of how GnuCash functions and how that differs from the program being imported from and when we need to do this is usually when our experience is minimal. I did it over 10 years ago now with several

First, you do not specify the type of file that you are importing from. Since CSV, QIF and OFX imports each use different code, that is important to know. Second, you must be using version 3.something because release 2.6.x was unable to import stock transactions, but it would help to know your ope

Also there seems to be confusion. CSV files and QIF files are quite different, and both have dedicated importers. Both may slow with large numbers of transactions to import, hence it's always safer to import in chunks. Which ones are not functioning? On Thu, 26 Sep 2019 at 09:06, dmeece wrote: >

What is the source of your import files? Once the data in in a data file it stays there and can be read by the next GnuCash release similar to a document that can be read by a document editor. The import process would only be a one-time thing. David Carlson On Thu, Sep 26, 2019 at 4:58 AM Chris
