Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

When generating a CSV file for import from a XLS using Numbers on macOS, the file contained unicode minus instead of ascii minus causing the parsing to only end up with positive numbers. A quick search and replace fixed the issue, but suggest adding parsing for this character as well to make things just work.

  • Unicode minus U+2212 (“−”)
  • ASCII hyphen-minus ("-")

How can we reproduce the issue?

Import the following example CSV:

Date;Text;In/Out;Sum
2025-02-02;Systembolaget;−100,00;900.00
2025-02-02;Systembolaget;-100,00;800.00

Only the second entry is registered as negative.

Where are you hosting Actual?
