Give each column an appropriate descriptor (or tell GnuCash to ignore one or more columns). Immediately above the preview of your data is a row of pull-down field descriptors that correspond to field descriptors in the GnuCash Transaction Register. As your Test Data files include column header labels that should not be imported, set Leading Lines To Skip to the value of "1". In the bottom half of the Import Preview window, you tell GnuCash what all of the various fields of your data file represent.
Now go ahead and set all the other File Format and Miscellaneous settings including selecting the correct Date Format for your data file. (I suspect that you have inadvertently skipped this task and that is the reason that your transactions ended up in the Imbalance account rather than the Cheque account.) For your test data files, you will need to select Asset:Cheque Account for your first import, and Liabilities:Visa Card for the second one. The first thing you should do is tell the importer which Account all the transactions belong to, by selecting the account in the pull-down field in the top-right of the Import Preview window. Immediately after you've selected the text file to import, GnuCash will bring up the Import Preview window. Select File / Import / Import transactions from CSV. Unfortunately, your Test Data files in your example are NOT well-formatted, but I'll come back to that.
The Import Transactions process can be a bit fiddly to set up, but once you've got it set up correctly GnuCash does a pretty good job of importing well-formatted data. Destination accounts are processed as expected but all source transactions end up in the Imbalance account rather than the intended source Asset/liability account.Ĭheque Account Date,Amount,No,Ledger:Account-Category,Description,MemoĠ1-03-06,"1,000.00",Equity:Opening Balance,Opening Balance,Starting BalanceĠ5-03-06,-45.21,101,Expenses:Groceries,Grocery Shop,Grocery StoreĠ5-03-06,-75.00,105,Expenses:Groceries,HomeTown Grocery,HomeTown GroceryĠ6-03-06,100.00,Transfere Money,TransferĠ6-03-06,100.00,106,Expenses:Split,ABC Hardware,ABC Hardwareġ4-03-06,1000.00,Expenses:Split,Employers R Us,SalaryĢ4-03-06,500.00,Transfer Money,TransferĢ5-03-06,-100.00,ATM Withdrawal,ATMĢ8-03-06,-20.00,Expenses:Internet,Internet Subscription,Best InternetĢ8-03-06,-78.00,102,Expenses:Electricity,Light Company,Light CompanyĢ8-03-06,-45.00,103,Expenses:Phone,Phone Company,Phone CompanyĢ8-03-06,-350.00,104,Expenses:Rent,April Rent,Apartment 4 Rentģ1-03-06,-5.00,Expenses:Service Charge,Service Charge,Service ChargeĢ8-04-06,-350.00,Expenses:Rent,May Rent,Apartment 4 RentĠ5-05-06,-300.00,Partial Payment of Visa Bill,To Account 123833255.Haven't managed to configure the Transaction Import Assistant date format as dd/mm/yy like the Win10 Regional format data settings so currently restricted to d-m-y for csv import.Is there a GnuCash quickstart tutorial to cover this? Expecting to load the statements and the transactions would show in the source bank account and the target income/expenditure account. Confused about setting up GnuCash file using the Transaction Import Assistant to load Bank Statements.
