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
