I'm trying to create a multi column report that breaks down how much was
spent in each category over the course of a year, with each column being a
month. To make life easier I'm trying to use the paste command to string
together multiple ledger outputs of ledger -p <month> bal exp. However
since I obviously don't use the same categories each month, it doesn't work
very well.
I saw the --empty option and it sounds like that should print out all
accounts even if they have a 0 balance, but if I have a ledger file with
2013/09/10 * Mcdonalds
Expenses:Food:Dining $12.00
Assets:Cash
2013/09/10 * Circle K
Expenses:Food:Junk $7.00
Expenses:Gambling $4.00
Assets:Cash
2013/09/10 * Assets:Checking -> Liabilities:CC
Liabilities:CC $30.00
Assets:Checking
2013/09/10 * CC Interest
Expenses:Interest:CreditCard $1.29
Liabilities:CC
2013/09/11 Sprint
Expenses:Communications:Cell $60.00
Assets:Checking
I get the following,
[garden@phoebe ~]$ ledger -f /tmp/fakeledger -p "9/10" -E bal exp
$24.29 Expenses
$19.00 Food
$12.00 Dining
$7.00 Junk
$4.00 Gambling
$1.29 Interest:CreditCard
--------------------
$24.29
[garden@phoebe ~]$ ledger -f /tmp/fakeledger -p "9/11" -E bal exp
$60.00 Expenses:Communications:Cell
When I'm expecting to see a list of all the accounts on both commands.
I guess, I'm not sure if I'm using the --empty option correctly, or if it's
a bug, or if there is a better way to do what I'm doing.
Also, on a side note, is there a repository of scripts or invocations for
reports? It seems like there would be quite a few pretty standard report
types, and I'd like to try to modify ones, rather than creating new ones.
