Stock Historical Data - Yahoo Finance CSV

[David T.]

Hello Moshe,

The question of importing historical stock price data has come up many times over the years. In short, there is no direct way of achieving this.

There is a page on the wiki giving one method (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stocks/get_prices <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stocks/get_prices>). 

Another approach is to convert the csv into OFX and import that (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Importing_fund_or_stock_prices_from_an_OFX_file <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Importing_fund_or_stock_prices_from_an_OFX_file>).

Most recently as last November, someone asked this question at: http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2015-November/062729.html <http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2015-November/062729.html>.

See if any of these gives you help in finding a solution.

David
