[GNC] Import transactions

[Geoff]

G'day Michael

If you haven't already, I suggest you start with the following sections 
of the Gnucash Documentation:
https://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=4&lang=C&doc=help
6.16. Importing Transactions from Files
6.16.5. Import CSV

Then have a look at the second last post on this thread where I included 
a working CSV file and matching screenshots of the import process:

http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GNC-Tracking-cash-flows-with-balanced-transactions-tc4721056.html

The purpose of the drop down headings is to tell Gnucash what data you 
have in each column of your CSV file.

Another useful technique is to *export* some similar transactions to 
CSV, examine the structure of the CSV file produced by Gnucash, then try 
and import that file.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Geoff
