Hi,

I have used GnuCash for a long time now. It is great and useful
software with lots of features.

However, my main complaint about it is regarding the GnuCash
interface: IMHO, it is not the best way to enter the details of
transactions for daily use.

By contrast, spreadsheets provide a faster and simpler interface. It
is much easier to enter data via MS Excel or Calc than via GnuCash
interface or similar applications.

In addition, most banks and credit card issuers provide account
statements in spreadsheet format. I usually download the transactions
of my bank accounts and credit cards from the web of banks and
financial institutions, in Excel format. I find it faster and more
manageable to view these transactions in the spreadsheet. However, I
want to have them synchronized in GnuCash.

Also for accounts with split transactions, I find it much easier to
enter data via spreadsheets, than via GnuCash interface.

On the other hand, I do not want to give up all the benefits of
GnuCash, especially to manage on one site all accounts for assets,
liabilities, income and expenses, and generate reports from them.

For these reasons I created OneClickToQIF: a freeware and open source
project: with OneClickToQIF is very quick and easy to move data from
spreadsheets to GnuCash or other bookkeeping application, using the
former for insertion and some calculations, and the latter for all the
functionality of a double-entry bookkeeping application.

Github project:  https://github.com/OneClickToQif/OneClickToQif

Email list / forum for the project is found here:

I created this software for my own use, but then I uploaded it as an
open source project at GitHub because I hope it could be useful for
many GnuCash users.

Regards
