Thanks. I'll pull to the latest version (I was using a version from
November 26) and check again.
A follow up question. Lets say I have the given .dat file:
= expr commodity == "EUR" and date >= [2011] and date < [2012]
; VALUE:: market($1.5, date, exchange)
2011/1/1 Opening Balance
Assets:Paypal Account $2.00
Equity
2011/1/28 From U.S. Dollar To Euro - Currency Conversion
Assets:Paypal Account 1.00 EUR ; worth $1.5 according to our annual
average exchange rate
Assets:Paypal Account -$1.80 ; paypal's exchange rate is $1.8 = 1
EUR, costing us $0.30 in exchange fees)
Expenses:Conversion Fee
Here I'm hoping that the conversion fee will automatically be debited with
$0.30, instead I get a strange result from bal:
$ ledger -f new3.dat bal -X $
$1.70 Assets:Paypal Account
$-2.00 Equity
$1.80
-1.00 EUR Expenses:Conversion Fee
--------------------
$1.50
-1.00 EUR
There are still EUR values in there despite the -X $
Now, if I modify the conversion entry to be explicit about the fee then
everything works fine:
2011/1/28 From U.S. Dollar To Euro - Currency Conversion
Assets:Paypal Account 1.00 EUR ; worth $1.5 according to our annual
average exchange rate
Assets:Paypal Account -$1.80 ; paypal's exchange rate is $1.8 = 1
EUR, costing us $0.30 in exchange fees)
Expenses:Conversion Fee $0.30
$ ledger -f new3.dat bal -X $
$1.70 Assets:Paypal Account
$-2.00 Equity
$0.30 Expenses:Conversion Fee
--------------------
0
Is there any way you could recommend of calculating this conversion fee
expense automatically?
