If I run a balance inquiry in ledger, at the end of a long list are 2 entries: -$2500.00 Liabilities:Credit_Card $2300.00 Liabilities:Credit_CardThe first entry is how much I've charged to the card. The second entry is my latest payment. The $200 difference is how much I currently owe on the card. 2 Questions: 1) Is this how it is supposed to look when one runs a balance report with 2 entries for Liabilities:Credit_Card?
No, the entries should show you the "balance", so in this case -$200.00 and each account should appear in the balance just once.
2)Is there a command to run to find what I currently owe or do I always need to pull out a calculator and subtract?
The output you get looks suspect. It should work without a calculator and just show you the balance. Can you show us the command you used to run the balance report? Do any of your other accounts exhibit this same problem, or is it just the Credit_Card account? I notice your amounts are all nice and rounded. Did you change the amounts for the sake of simplifying your question and/or hiding private details? Are the 2500 and 2300 amounts single entries in your ledger file, or are they composed of multiple entries?
