Okay thanks Derek.

The problem I have is it does not seem to "learn" very well. So I assign
Publix to Groceries but next time I import it wants to put Publix in Bank
Fees. It seems almost random and almost all transactions are always wrong.

Anyways I have started assigning everything to IMBALANCE account in hopes it
will "learn" to put everything there than I can manually set them to correct
account after import.

Thanks
