Hi,
I'm coming from ledger-cli which provides two options/functions which I use
quite extensively and for which I didn't find an equivalent in beancount:
1. Option --average in ledger-cli shows the running average instead of
the running total. I use this like this:
> ledger --period "this year" --monthly --average --collapse register
Expenses Income
This gives a nice overview of the average net income on a monthly basis
for the current year. I find this very useful to get a feeling if things go
in the right/wrong direction.
2. Option --display in ledger-cli allows to select a period of time to
which the output should be limited. This only affects the printing of
results but does not apply a filter for selecting the data from the ledger.
I use it like this:
> ledger --display "d>=[this month]" register Assets:Checking
This gives me all activities on my checking account for the current
month. The last column showing the total equals the balance of my actual
bank account. This makes the comparison between my ledger file and my bank
account quite easy.
Is it possible to achieve a similar output with beancount?
Thank you and kind regards,
Fred
