It sounds like you're not using double-entry correctly.  If you
haven't, I suggest you read the GnuCash Concepts and Tutorial
Guide which explains this quite well.

The "R" column is the Reconciled Column.  N means "Not reconciled".
When you click there and it changes to "C", that means "Cleared".
When you actually run through the reconciliation process, that
will change it to "Y", which means "Yes, reconciled".  This, too,
is explained in the documentation.

Good Luck,
