Hi, all --
With the following ledger file "test":
~Monthly
Expenses:Allowance:me $200.00
Assets
2011/11/01 Test entry 1
Expenses:Allowance:me $50.00
Liabilities:Checking
2011/11/02 Test entry 2
Expenses:Groceries $35.00
Expenses:Allowance:me
2011/11/03 Test entry 3
Expenses:Misc $15.00
Expenses:Allowance:me
The command
ledger budget -f test reg -p 'this month' allowance:me
fails with this error message:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
While evaluating value expression:
ansify_if(justify((get_at(total_expr, 1) ? (((100% * scrub(get_at(total_expr,
0))) / (- scrub(get_at(total_expr, 1)))) : 0)), 5, -1, true, false), (((color &
get_at(total_expr, 1)) & (abs((quantity(scrub(get_at(total_expr, 0))) /
quantity(scrub(get_at(total_expr, 1))))) >= 1)) ? (magenta : null)))
While multiplying 0 with 100%:
Error: Cannot multiply an amount with a balance
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I realize that this is a bit of a corner case -- and therefore perhaps not
worth fixing. The entries above fit the scenario in which I discovered it.
My wife and I have monthly allowances. I take out $50.00 in cash, charged
to my allowance. However, then I use this cash instead for groceries and a
miscellaneous purchase, which brings my allowance spending for the month
back to $0.
