Frank,
You're right. My perspective on the documentation is beside the point now, and
I have to remind myself not to engage in these discussions any more. Maybe the
German users have a need for the xslt; haven't seen much traffic on the English
lists on the topic.

Hi all,
Can anyone advise a very simple and safe way of install gnucash 3.8 in
Debian 10?
I've read posts like this:

But I am very reluctant to start messing with things l

For starters, how do you have your accounting period defined in Preferences >
Accounting Period?
Second, make sure in Options > General for the report, the Start and End date
are correct.
I normally run with a calendar year accounting period, so the report for me was
12 months from jan20-dec20
You were also offered the option of installing the Flatpak. (with links)
Another option is that one user has kindly packaged it as a .deb and linked it
here on the list, but you’ll have to do a list search for it. I think it was
packaged for Ubuntu (based on testing) so it might not install on d
Ah, got it now, thanks!

Per a previous post Gio noted the intent to delete *some* expense transactions.
The example given was:

The proper Find operation would be this:
1. Open the AccountA register.
2. Edit > Find
3. Set Criteria to “All Accounts”
3a. If you want all transactions that contain *both* Expense:E and
Expense:F
-then select both accounts in the pop-up selector (use CTRL/CMD-click

Deleting complete multi-split transactions would, of course, change running
balances in all affected accounts, possibly affecting bank account
reconciliations or whatever happens to be in those deleted transactions.

AHA. Insight (to quote Martin Gardner).

This is a bit complicated, of course!

Certainly. I can’t imagine anyone thinking they can delete transactions and
*not* affect running balances or reconciliations. We don’t know the original
purpose to the pursuit of the deletion, but that might very well be the intent.
Maybe the current balances are off. Maybe there are lots of kno
Looking at the example again, it still isn’t clear what the OP aims to
accomplish or why. (maybe this isn’t even the right rabbit hole)
If they want to only delete transactions in AccountA that *do not* also include
splits with AccountB and AccountC, but do include splits with Expense:E and

As Adrien has indicated once you move past installing the distributions
repository version, you are relying on an individual making a package
available or buidling the version from sources yourself. There are so many
different Linux distributions that it is really not possible to produce

There’s no reason you can’t reconcile the transfers. You can even do them
separately if you like, though Stephen’s method of just marking them clear as
you go is probably better and simpler.

wanted to make sure that Gio was aware that the specific method of an

so he can avoid shooting himself in the foot.

Hi Adrien, thanks for the response.
To answer your questions:
The reason I want to delete these transactions is because of a faulty
multi-currency import. See, I imported a year's worth of multicurrency
accounts and now I am fixing these as gnucash does not handle
multi-currency accounts export we
Hi David, thanks for the response.
Sorry If my original post was not clear. My bad.
I was not planning to delete split lines. I was planning to delete the
whole transaction. I understand that any transaction has at least 2 splits:
a debit and a credit account or left or right or source or target.
Gio, I recall the multi-currency thread. This puts some things in perspective.
In order to help you find the best method, there are a few more questions,
here’s the first:
Do any of those transactions in AccountA-USD that have splits with the expense
accounts also have splits with AccountB-PHP?
Hi Stephen, thanks for the response.
Once again, I want to apologize if my initial and following posts were not
clear. My bad.
As I have explained to Adrien in my earlier response (I respond on a FIFO
basis.) the reason I cannot do what you have suggested is that it doesn't
apply. The Expense acc
Yes, it is blank, because you missed this step:
>>-then change the “Search for items where” to “any criteria are met”
Thus, with ‘all criteria’ you’re asking it to return transactions where ‘all'
of those accounts have splits in the *same* transaction, of which there are
none.
By chang
To be clear, a transaction can involve *more* than two accounts.
I’m trying to ascertain if you have that case (it is not uncommon) and if any
of these will be effected by your deletions. That fact will change the
recommended procedure.

Adrien

Hi Adrien, thanks for being patient with me.
I think my earlier illustration was not clear because I just realized that
it could be read as contents of a single transaction viewed as multi-splits
when what I wanted to illustrate are single transactions.
So with that let me try to answer your ques
The picture is getting clearer.
Okay then, next question:
Do ANY of the target expense accounts involve transactions with ANY other
account than AccountA?
Put another way, do you have even a single transaction between some other bank
account in any of those same expense accounts?

I did that. Still blank :(

I have downloaded the program, but when I try to import my QIF files, I
get as far as changing the names on a few accounts, and it kicks me back
to the start up screen and wants me to hit the start button and import
my files, then freezes. What do I do next?

Try the search with just one expense account then. (that you can easily see in
the register so you know it is there)

To be honest, I find this text in the documentation really hard to

Gio,
No surprise, that's not exactly lucid.
I just tried again with a more realistic test book. The problem is that
"matches all accounts" means what it says: if you give it ten accounts then any
transaction must have splits in all 10 of them to match.
