[GNC] GNUCash beginner setup

[denz]

Thanks David and Adrian. I have an update for you. 

I was able to get things working now and categorisation works better and
closer to my desirable behaviour. The only difference between earlier and
now was the time sequence on how I imported the transactions.Earlier, I
imported the statements in a backward time sequence. In the sense, I
uploaded Q1 2020 followed with Q4 2019, Q3 2019 and so on. Now, I do it as
Q1 2016, Q2 2016 and so on. I notice a clear difference if I use the serial
sequence rather than the backward one. 

Now, I have one final question. I have imported transactions of both Bank1
(1400 transactions over 4 years) and Bank2 (80 transactions over 1 year).
Both, the account balances match. I do see however, 4 imbalanced
transactions from Bank1. How do I exactly resolve this? All these
transactions belong to Expense accounts. I tried assigning them to my
Expense Accounts but if I do so, the opening balance for Bank1 does not
match and is off my the sum of the 4 imbalanced transactions viz. €94,38. I
understand the double entry nature of book keeping but I wonder why these 4
transactions stood out and if I could resolve these imbalances without any
"hack".

Thank you for your time!
