Hello Viraj,
I know of two options to reduce the duplication of the amount value:
1. Using transaction typed metadata
2023/06/06 McDonalds
; amount_spent:: $23.98
Expenses:Food:Restaurants (tag("amount_spent"))
Liabilities:Apple Card (-tag("amount_spent"))
Income:Credit Card Rewards (-(tag("amount_spent")) * 0.02)
Assets:Apple Cash
See https://ledger-cli.org/doc/ledger3.html#Typed-metadata
2. Using a define
define spent_amount=$23.98
2023/06/06 McDonalds
Expenses:Food:Restaurants (spent_amount)
Liabilities:Apple Card (-spent_amount)
Income:Credit Card Rewards (-(spent_amount) * 0.02)
Assets:Apple Cash
See https://ledger-cli.org/doc/ledger3.html#index-define
Hope this helps,
Alexis
