importing bank transactions via .csv (again!)

[Paul Schwartz]

Typically, you will have a file of transactions associated with a particular account [like your checking account]. Then you would load into a spreadsheet, fiddle, and create a QIF, which can then be imported into GnuCash. During the import you will specify the common account [checking] and the balancing account for each transaction [or type of transaction].
