* ledger -j Error: Cannot convert a balance with multiple commodities to an amount
** symptoms I wanted to create some output for graphing, using a command like: ledger -j -X GBP:EUR bal ^exp But this raises the error "Cannot convert a balance with multiple commodities to an amount" Similar symptoms are described in a very old bug, although in a different context: http://bugs.ledger-cli.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378 Is this solvable at all? is this the same root cause?
