TL;DR I would like to use the -X flag to display balances in an alternative currency with Ledger 3.2.1-20200518. The conversion functionality works just fine, but the format directive isn’t working for me.
Everything in my journal is in USD, but I would like to be able to show my balances in AUD. To do this, I simply added the following line to my price database. P 2021/10/30 16:22:00 AUD $0.75244225 Based on information in the manual I should be able to use the format commodity directive to handle the formatting for a given commodity, so I’ve set mine up as follows: commodity AUD note Aussie Dollars format A1,000.00 When I run ledger, the balances are properly calculated and displayed in AUD, but the formatting is not honored. ledger -f register.ldg --price-db price_db.txt -V --strict –explicit bal Bank -X AUD The output looks looks like this: AUD100000 Assets:Banking AUD50000 Acct1 AUD20000 Acct2 AUD30000 Acct3 What am I missing?
