It can get the prices for both stocks and mutual funds. The lookup is done by ticker symbol. GNUC's csv price importer requires a date to be present in the csv file so I'm not sure what you are asking in your second question. Below is a sample of a couple of lines from the csv file. It's has

Hello again, forget my previous mail. I mixed up the release and the nightlies. The release got the 3.38 runtime, which was already in use almost a half year in the nightlies – without complains. There must be another reason. Did you by chance delete something in ~/.var/app or another place menti

I'd imagine one could do something like this with a Perl script that uses another script, like the Yahoo JSON one, to get the price, then "adjusts" the date based upon the time of day, etc. You'd have to do a bit of searching to figure out how to add your own module to the quoting functions of Perl

I did not make any modifications directly. I have no idea of the details of what is modified by the system updater but I tend to let the updates pile up for a few weeks, run the install and reboot (if there are low level updates). This update of gnucash was in fact an unexpected side effect of an u

I do. I suspect most North America-based users of the business features write cheques (checks in the US).It’s just a matter of volume whether it’s worth printing them. (I find it much easier to avoid missing recording them if they are recorded and then printed). > On Apr 23, 2021, at 7:24

Hi David, I suggest you use gnc-fq-dump to see if Finance Quote (FQ) is returning a date (and time?) for your mutual funds. If GnuCash does not get a date from FQ, then it defaults the date to today. In this case, I suggest the solution would be to have FQ yahoo_JSON modified to provide an appr

I just did a gnc-fq-dump for one of my investments and the date reported within the data was 2021-04-23, which makes sense, since it's a mutual fund that had its price updated yesterday (Friday) evening. However, when I do a price update in GnuCash it takes that quote and assigns it a date for toda

[GNC] New price source

2021-04-24 Thread Christopher Lam
To casual and regular users: In addition to pricedb-nearest and pricedb-latest, there'll be a new price source 'pricedb-nearest-before' in 4.6 onwards; this will ignore prices *after* the report date. e.g. a user records weekly prices e.g. on 19-dec, 26-dec, 2-jan, 9-jan etc and runs the balance sh
