Hello, I'm trying to compute the monthly average of my expenses since I've started using ledger. I must be doing something wrong because the results I get are very different from the one I compute manually.
According to the manual, to get a yearly average, I need to run ledger -p "this year" --monthly --average balance ^expenses Since I started using ledger at the beginning of March, and I don't want to take the current month into account, here is what I tried: ledger -f ~/Documents/Org/mescomptes.ledger -p 'from 2014-03-01 to this month' --average --monthly bal ^expenses Unfortunately, it seems to return not the monthly average, but a mix of monthly average and the transaction average (sum of every transaction divided by the number of transactions). Digging a little deeper, I notice that ledger -f ~/Documents/Org/mescomptes.ledger -p 'from 2014-03-01 to today' --monthly bal ^expenses and ledger -f ~/Documents/Org/mescomptes.ledger -p 'from 2014-03-01 to today' bal ^expenses return the same thing, as if the "--monthly" option was not taken into account. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Alan -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
