Hello, Gnucash has option to provide average value for the monthly expenses when one is preparing budget and need estimation for monthly costs.
In the ledger manual (http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Budgeting-and-Forecasting) there is following example given: "For help on finding out what your average monthly expenses are for any category, use a command like:" $ ledger -p "this year" --monthly --average balance ^expenses Now, when I run something like this with my ledger file: $ ledger -f personal.dat -p "this year" --monthly --average balance Hrana wher 'Hrana' is for food, I get: 33.60 HRK Expenses:Hrana Now, if we take a look of the total ledger -f personal.dat -p "this year" --monthly balance Hrana for the same period we get: 24828.44 HRK Expenses:Hrana One does not have to be great mathematician to see something is wrong, but I wonder if there is some helper in Ledger to be used to get monthly expenses for each category in order to assist when one is preparing a budget? Sincerely, Gour -- One is understood to be in full knowledge whose every endeavor is devoid of desire for sense gratification. He is said by sages to be a worker for whom the reactions of work have been burned up by the fire of perfect knowledge. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
