I guess that if you get audited, then yes, you will have to explain how you got the numbers you’ve reported.
Thanks for the link, I’ve noticed the same thing but in a different context. I have a report that shows me the sum of all Income and all expenses for current year, as well as 5 years back on a year basis. The sum is converted to EUR at the date of the transaction and the numbers are different. Out of curiosity, how do you generate reports? I’ve seen you have variables in your reports. I have a bunch of queries saved in my beancount file, which I run with ‘bean-query .run’ but I’m looking for a way to generate more dynamic reports, potentially with variables, and even being able to manipulate the result of the reports (for example one report I miss is a monthly PnL with summary line, but it’s not possible to do it in one query without intermediate variables).
