[GNC] Import CSV transactions into GC

[Carl S.]

Discover Card (a credit card) as of last week stopped providing the 
download of Discover card transactions in QDF....much to my displeasure.

They do provide a download of transactions in CSV format.

I'm trying to figure out how to do a reliable importation of my credit 
card transactions into GC in my Discover Card acct in GC.  This all 
assumes I'll have to work with the downloaded CSV files now.

For experimentation reasons I'm working on importing in csv format the 
transactions for the entire month of September just to see how the 
actual process is done.  Previously, I had already imported the Discover 
card transactions in QDF for September (before Discover Card ended the 
QDF download).  Next I'm importing the CSV transactions to see how they 
are recognized and matched by GC.

I've been somewhat successful in using  the 
File----Import-----Transactions from CSV and getting to the Match 
Transactions screen which presents the transactions to be imported.  I 
understand what the Reconcile (auto match) transactions are but many of 
the transactions when imported to the account end up as duplicates since 
previously they had been added in QDF.

So, I'm confused and want to make the importation process as easy as 
possible.  The A  U+C  C options make matters worse....for me.

Also, I've tried, or rather, have attempted to get working, various 
csv2ODF converters.  For me too many error messages was enough to stay 
away from them.

Any help is much appreciated...
