Re: [GNC] Import from Quicken to GnuCash not Working

And there is always the question: Do you really NEED to import files? I figured that I'd just use Quicken for reference, and I just started GnuCash cold. I used Quicken a few times, but as time has gone on, I haven't needed the data. The only sticking point might be investments in which you need

Re: [GNC] Import from Quicken to GnuCash not Working

As has been mentioned before, Quicken handles data differently than GnuCash. In addition to the other comments concerning this issue, there is the way that Quicken handles years in dates. Instead of using a 4 digit year, someone got the idea of putting an apostrophe in to represent "20". These "

Re: [GNC] Import from Quicken to GnuCash not Working

A suggestion that comes up many times in the past and even in some of the responses you got is to break up the file and perhaps not try to import the whole thing in one go. That being said, 14Mb is really not a very large file. The last time I did this kind of thing a couple of years ago I loa

Re: [GNC] Import from Quicken to GnuCash not Working

Hi Ken, I did try looking thru a bunch of those archive messages (although admittedly no more than a few dozen). But none of those postings seem to address the same thing that I've run into. Most are regarding problems that users found with the accounts or entries in the resulting .gnucash file th

[GNC] Importing Accounts

TLDR; Create a new file choosing one of the template accounts to use as a basis to export account tree as csv then modify as required. The GnuCash csv conventions don't apply to the coa csv file. Specifically: 1. It must have a header line 2. iirc all fields must be included even though most of t

Re: [GNC] Finance::Quote expected digits after -

Since the single quote retrieval works, I am guessing this is more of a parsing issue than a problem with Finance::Quote? On Sat, Sep 21, 2024 at 3:17 PM wrote: > Send gnucash-user mailing list submissions to > gnucash-user@gnucash.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide W

Hi Folks, On my Fedora system I installed the gnucash-docs package: "yum install gnucash-docs", and that did exactly what you'd expect. When I tried to read any of them, I got nothing. The reason is my system was configured to use the "KDE Help Center" application, which didn't understand DocB

Re: [GNC] Import from Quicken to GnuCash not Working

I had a 150mb Quicken 2016 file to import. The only way I got it to work was to export the file into yearly qif files by account. It took a long time and the final gnucash file required significant hand editing to match up transactions to the right categories and transfer accounts. Good luck! O

[GNC] Importing Accounts

Hi Folks, I am importing accounts. The third step of the import dialog shows a row with column headers. Does my import CSV file have to use that *order*, or simply use those *names*? If "order" is discretionary, can I create a column mapping with the first row? Will the "Import Map Editor" d

I'm trying to import a QIF file from Quicken 2016 to GnuCash 5.8 on a Windows 11 system. It's a 14 MB QIF file with over 30 years of data. At the first step of the Import process, there are 56 issues reported, all the same: "Could not parse price line". But I just click Next to continue and go on
