[GNC] Error importing QIF file

[Kalpesh Patel]

Parag - 

You will have to find the offending faulty transaction and correct it
manually after understanding why it is failing. Learning the format of QIF
file is not that difficult (plenty of sources to be had by Google'ing for
it, including a Wikipedia) and the file can be viewed in any good old plain
text viewer as it is in plain text.

When I migrated data over from Quicken into GNC, I had to go through this
process to correct number of transactions that were not importable by GNC. I
had started by dividing the file into two halves and then importing each
halves to see which one was failing. Then slice the failing one again into
two  halves until you find the transaction that is at fault and correcting
it in the original file. This will need to be done for all transactions that
are not importing properly and failing. You don't have to fully go through
all the steps to import the file; just need to get to the point in the
process where it can tell you whether that half failed or not, then
rinse-and-repeat until the faulty transaction is found. 

General disclaimer - I have NOT heard about Gnucash Android App beforehand
nor have I have ever used it. I am strictly opining from the perspective of
attempting to export/import QIF formatted file from one program into
another, specifically into GNC. 

Hope this helps.

As I understand, GnuCash for Android is no longer supported by its creator
and is not supported by GnuCash desktop developers.  It's a separate project
that happens to have GnuCash in its title.

My best recommendations include taking over and continuing development of
GnuCash for Android.  Or, try WINE for Android and see if you can run
GnuCash desktop from within WINE.  This may also take some work.

Perhaps other GnuCash for Android users will be along  and offer you more
help with continuing to use GnuCash for Android as it is.

Good luck!




Kind regards,

Greg Feneis
