Hi all, I have a question about related accounts. I'm on ledger 3.1.0. (I also use hledger 0.27, which I'd be happy to employ here if it can answer this question more easily.)
Here is my use case: I keep track of expenses shared with a roommate under expenses:shared, and at the end of a given reporting period I want to be able to ask, "How much did I pay to expenses:shared, and how much did my roommate pay?" to see who owes money to the other. >From the manual, I have gotten this far: I can do $ ledger --related --display 'account =~ /assets:Me/' reg expenses:shared to see transactions where I paid toward expenses shared, and similarly I could use assets:Roommate in the display predicate to see what my roommate paid. But as the manual notes, "The running total...is off, however, since a display expression is being used." The running total reflects all transactions on expenses:shared, not just the ones that are selected by the display predicate. So the above command is only useful for telling me the amounts of the individual transactions displayed; I must tally them up some other way before I can figure out who owes who, and how much. So my question is, is there some way to get a correct running total when using --related and limiting to a subset of transactions? Perhaps by using --limit instead of --display, or some kind of fancy format string...? Nothing I have been able to come up with seems to work. Thanks for any insights you can provide!
