importing

[David Carlson]

Frank and David T,

I believe that the QIF importer may not work exactly the same way that it
did back in the 2.2 series or the 2.4 series  or even the 2.6 series before
release 2.6.18.

If that is the c as e  then we really do need someone who is familiar with
the way it works now to jump in and help.

Frank,

The *other* David suggested importing each account separately; I was
suggesting importing all at once. In my (admittedly ancient) experience, I
worked to get the Quicken data just so, and when I imported everything, I
had little to no duplicates.

You are right as to what is being done.... When I import, it sees the
duplicates, but there are hundreds....it would take forever to Mark
them....I do not know how to export just one account at a time....I could
try to figure it out and try that way I guess.

Frank,
Like the other David, on the other thread, it has been a while since I
imported from Quicken. When I did, I was able to bring in everything in one
huge pass. Gnucash properly created the many accounts and captured most of
the transfers as well.
Are you exporting each account from Quicken separately? It sounds as if you
are getting both sides of your transactions, i.e., the transfer payment
from checking to your credit card is being processed once for the checking
and once for the credit card. If this is what is happening for you, then
there are two solutions: either match the second version to the first
during the import process, or don't import the second transaction.
I seem to recall that I didn't have to do much manual massage to my large
quicken file when I imported way back when, so I believe that exporting the
whole file (accounts, categories and transactions for it all) will catch
those duplications. But I've been known to be wrong before.

go through this.  Isn't there a way import without sorting through the
list?  If I do not go through the list (just import everything as is, I end
up with every account with double entries, double money.

GC, but sometimes they are very cumbersome, like this appears to be.  What
am I missing?
