The profile for to download a transaction download inthe CSV assistant does not support a quantity/shares column, and likely the underlying CSV model does not support it either. This makes it impossible to process records of non-standard transactions (etc.), which only list the quantity and value (aka Amount in gnucash) in the CSV (where the price is null for the relevant transaction). The importer currently supports: The amount, which works The price, which is supported in the assistant only The quantity, which is not supported See also bug 797359 Additional information. the information reported by brokers about mutuals, and shares doesn't always fit the model used for importing bank accounts as neatly as could be hoped. In some transactions, where the price and amount is known, the quantity/shares can be calculated. But if the CSV file contains only the quantity and amount, then the price has to be calculated instead. Unfortunately, depending on the nature of the transaction, some rows may have a price and some may have a quantity, meaning the choice needs to be made on a row by row basis. This may be because there isn't a single "price" (there are buy prices, sell prices, and by the looks of it fund migration prices. The CSV appears to contain a choice of buy or sell price, but those transactions that use a different price gets a blank field. But then all I really know is that the column is blank on some transaction types! However the quantity is always present in the CSV I want to import. Maybe a better strategy is to process this, and calculate the price, contrary to the design of the current assistant, noting that is also broken.
