[GNC] Bulk export/import of transactions?

[Eric H. Bowen]

My problem stems from the fact that I started the business in April, but was purchasing equipment for it from the beginning of the year. After I had the first few months (April to July) in and reconciled, I belatedly realized that I needed to go back and include my purchase transactions from the first of the year. But since I already had several months reconciled, when I added the earlier transactions I ended up with a mess. If there's any way to reverse the reconciliations as they stand now, I'm not aware of it. That would be preferable to starting over.

Eric,

In version 3, there is an export to csv that can be used, I believe.

Before you do that however, perhaps you could explain why you say you cannot change or correct the problems? Maybe those problems aren't as intractable as you think. It's been my experience that most any problem can be fixed in Gnucash.

I'm a fairly new GnuCash user, and last year I set up an account for a
part-time business which i have doing video work. Unfortunately, being
unfamiliar with GnuCash, I made some mistakes while reconciling accounts
in the early months which I now cannot change or correct. I'd like to
basically start over with a new worksheet, but I spent a lot of time
entering split transactions and such in the old one to account for
equipment costs and depreciation. I'd rather not re-invent the wheel. Is
there a way to bulk export transactions from the old worksheet and then
re-import them into the new worksheet which preserves split information
and other notes?
