[GNC] Gnucash 5 - import transactions

[Valued Customer]

Hi. This is the first time I've tried to use the mailing list for help. I think I may having the same issue being described in this string. 
iMac Intel 2021 Ventura
Gnucash Version: 5.0
Build ID: 5.0+(2023-03-25)

When I import transactions from CVS no matching is occurring even though many of the transactions' descriptions are exact matches. If there is a solution in this email exchange, I'm not understanding it. 

I've spent a lot of time with Gnucash over the last few months and have entered two years worth of transactions. I've had some limited success with the import matcher but, my last attempt resulted in zero matches.

Mitch



Sincerely,
Valued Customer
