Entering a portfolio by hand takes time, especially if you have traded for many years. If you have an account with Nordnet, you can instead import your whole transaction history. AksjeNet then gets a complete picture of holdings, cash flow, dividends and fees, and the analysis and tax overview become more accurate.
Before you start
You need an AksjeNet account and a portfolio to import into. If you have several accounts at Nordnet, for example both a share savings account (ASK) and an ordinary share account, it can be wise to import them into separate portfolios, or assign the right account type afterwards.
Step 1: Export from Nordnet
The export is done from the transaction overview at Nordnet, where you can choose a period and download the transactions as a CSV file. Choose the whole period you have traded in, so that all purchases are included. Nordnet’s menus change over time, and Nordnet’s own help pages show the current steps.
Keep the original file unchanged. If you open and save it in a spreadsheet, the format of dates and numbers may change.
Step 2: Import into AksjeNet
Upload the file in AksjeNet’s import function and choose the portfolio to import into. AksjeNet reads the file and registers:
| Type | What is registered |
|---|---|
| Purchases | Share, quantity, price, fee and date |
| Sales | Share, quantity, price, fee and date |
| Dividends | Amount and date in the cash ledger |
| Deposits and withdrawals | Cash movements in the cash ledger |
How AksjeNet finds the right share
Nordnet lists each security by name and ISIN, an international identification number. AksjeNet first uses the ISIN to find the right ticker, then the company name. If neither works, it suggests a ticker based on the name and exchange, and flags the row so you can check it.
Duplicates
Every Nordnet transaction has its own identifier. If you import a new file that overlaps with an earlier import, transactions already registered are skipped. You can therefore safely import again with an updated file.
Step 3: Review rows that need attention
After importing, AksjeNet shows rows that need attention. The most common reasons are:
- Missing ticker mapping, for example for companies that have changed name or been acquired.
- Unclear cash type, where it is not clear whether a movement is a deposit, withdrawal or fee.
- Possible duplicates that could not be resolved automatically.
- Missing account type, if the portfolio mixes a share savings account and an ordinary share account.
Step 4: Check the result
Open the portfolio overview and accounting in AksjeNet. Holdings, cash balance and recent transactions should be close to what you see at Nordnet. If they differ a lot, check for missing transactions, whether the export period was long enough, and whether currency and prices are correct.

With a complete history, AksjeNet can show:
