Hi,
I'm using the latest version of ledger from the git master branch.
I run the following command and get an error
$ ~/personal/workspaces/ledger/ledger -f ledger.dat bal
While parsing file "ledger.dat", line 37:
While balancing transaction from "ledger.dat", lines 35-37:
> 2010/01/22 Marketing B
> Expenses:Marketing 55EUR {=$1.81818181818}
> Liabilities:Accounts Payable -$100
Unbalanced remainder is:
$10
Amount to balance against:
$110
Error: Transaction does not balance
>From what I understand I should be using the rate 1.81818181818 to
convert the 55 euros into 100 dollars.
However this doesn't seem to be happening.
Here is the full ledger file
2009/01/01 Invoice A
Assets:Accounts Payable $1000
Income:Sales
2009/01/21 Payment Invoice A
Assets:NAB $1000
Assets:Accounts Receivable
2009/01/22 Pay expenses
Expenses:Payroll $800
Assets:NAB
2009/01/22 Marketing A
Expenses:Marketing 50EUR {=$2}
Liabilities:Accounts Payable -$100
2009/01/23 Pay MC Marketing
Assets:NAB -$100
Liabilities:Accounts Payable
;-------------------------------------------------------
2010/01/01 Invoice B
Assets:Accounts Payable $1000
Income:Sales
2010/01/21 Payment Invoice B
Assets:NAB $1000
Assets:Accounts Receivable
2010/01/22 Pay expenses
Expenses:Payroll $800
Assets:NAB
2010/01/22 Marketing B
Expenses:Marketing 55EUR {=$1.81818181818}
Liabilities:Accounts Payable -$101
2010/02/23 Pay MC Marketing
Assets:NAB -$100
Liabilities:Accounts Payable
Hope someone can explain to me what I'm doing wrong.
I also tried to use the fixed syntax
fixed EUR $1.81818181818
....
end fixed
but that always reported a parse error.
