I should clarify that the above is a bit of a hack and will only work if you are averaging starting at the beginning of the year until now, because it divides by the number of the current month. If somebody has a better way to do it I would love to know. Am I the only person who wants to know what my average spending in a category is per month? best, Erik -- Sent from my free software system <http://fsf.org/>. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
