10:40:26 *** rgriffit has joined #gnucash
10:42:22 * rgriffit has an old version of QB (1995). are there tools to convert .qbw or .iff files to a format gnucash recognizes?
10:50:03 <jsled> no.
10:50:09 <jsled> Well, maybe.
10:50:25 <jsled> GnuCash can only import QIF (or OFX, or HBCI) files.
10:50:43 <jsled> So if you can find something to convert those to QIF (maybe), then that could be imported.
10:50:53 <jsled> I'm not aware of one.
10:53:19 *** johbrahms has left #gnucash
10:53:24 <rgriffit> googling hasn't turned up anything. I hoped to find secret tribal knowledge here:-D
11:03:32 *** traxtermaster has joined #gnucash
11:06:16 <traxtermaster> hi, i just got gnucash installed and i'm trying to setup the tax table but in Quebec the provincial tax is taxed over the gst like (goods X GST) X provicial tax+total
11:21:18 *** warlord has joined #gnucash
11:21:18 *** gncbot sets mode: +o warlord
11:46:46 <benoitg> traxtermaster: You need to calulate the percentage of the total that the PST represents and enter that. It's a constant.
11:49:16 *** warlord is now known as warlord-afk
12:08:23 *** Rolf has joined #gnucash
12:12:57 <traxtermaster> well i will include the taxes in price. but now when i print out the invoice is spread out on 2 pages and the fonts are huges

21:06:05 <pipeline> How can I alter many splits at once? (e.g. make the same change to all search results)

21:18:06 *** Cerin has joined #gnucash
21:19:34 <Cerin> Hi.
21:20:03 <Cerin> This isn't specific to Gnucash, but I thought someone here might be able to help.
21:20:53 <Cerin> I have a spreadsheet of all my credit card transactions. Is there any software that can be trained to classify them into categories, like "food", "gas", "clothing", etc?
21:21:17 <Cerin> I had hoped Gnucash could do something like this, but it can't.
21:30:27 <pipeline> No.
21:30:54 <pipeline> I'd like to just be able to do mass updates; I don't need to train it, I just need it to be able to process fixed rules. Ah well.
21:32:40 *** sjc has quit IRC
21:33:57 <Cerin> I was hoping for something like a spam filter, just some Bayesian classifier that can notice records with the words "ACME" can be classified as "food".
21:34:11 <pipeline> feel free to get cracking on that
21:34:13 <pipeline> ;)
21:34:23 <Cerin> It would be a lot more flexible and scalable that discrete rules.
21:34:41 <Cerin> I could do it, but I don't have much free time, and I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
21:34:49 <Cerin> Someone's had to have done something like this before.
21:34:58 <Cerin> s/that/than
21:36:47 <benoitg> Cerin: Gnucash DOES have a bayesian classifier that is used to pick the account when importing OFX or HBCI. The qif importer does not use it yet.
21:41:46 <Cerin> heh, yeah, someone on the mailing list said it did something like that. however, when I went to use it, it just imported each record by concatenating each field
21:42:27 <Cerin> so all the classifier could see was 20070901ACME234Blahblahblah
21:42:46 <Cerin> as you can imagine, it thought each record belonged in it's own category
21:43:06 <Cerin> feature extraction works better when the classifier can see words

23:19:33 <Cerin> yay, I just wrote one in a half an hour with Python and Reverend
23:22:39 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
23:23:09 <warlord> pipeline: no, there's no way to act on multiple transactions/splits at once.
23:23:29 <warlord> Cerin: the baysian filter works, but a) you have to manually turn it on, and b) it really only helps you the second time through.

23:58:09 <derekS> hey, is there a way i can link my gnucash up to my fidelity account like i can with quicken/ms money?
23:59:31 <warlord> should be able to hook it up via OFX Direct Connect. Look at the wiki.
