Totaling sub-postings with ledger-mode
Hi folks, This is a question about using ledger-mode within Emacs. I use Ledger with virtual accounts for envelope-style budgeting. At the beginning of the month, I'll typically make an entry that looks something like this: 2020-07-01 * Budget: July 2020 [Budget:Food]$100.00 [Budget:Gas] $25.00 [Budget:Books]$25.00 [Assets:Checking] -$150.00 Now, the mental math in the above example is easy enough, but unfortunately my real budget is typically more complex. I'm aware that I can elide the bottom posting, but I find its helpful to see how much I'm actually budgeting as I make my allocations for the month. Is there a handy function available within ledger-mode to total up all the "Budget" postings and insert the correct inverse amount for the posting at bottom? I've checked the docs but not found anything (or have overlooked the relevant section). I've also tried "ledger-post-edit-amount" -- bound to "C-c C-b" -- and while this pops open calc to let /me/ do the math, I'd love for the calculation to be done for me.

Ledger account names with other languages
Ledger doesn't prescribe an account structure, so I know that some people use their native language for ledger top-level accounts, e.g. Actif instead of Assets in French, or Einnahmen (I guess?) for Income in German. If you use such account names and they are standard for your country/language, can you email me off-list at t...@cyrius.com with the 5 top-level accounts in your language and what language it's for. I'm trying to compile a mapping between the 4 top-level accounts in various languages to English for ledger2beancount.

Does anyone have any hints for separating business and provate finances?
Hi all, I've been using Ledger for more than 5 years now (GnuCash earlier), and I'm pretty happy with it. However, I have now a challenge. Instead of a regular salary, I get payments for invoices, which are not equal each month. This is inconvenient from a private budget perspective. I've set up a separate business account at my bank and I plan to set up a constant monthly transfer from that account to my private one, maybe even called "salary". (Of course, I will ensure that my average monthly business income is greater than the "salary".) I would like to separate these two areas in Ledger, too. Ideally, I'd like to be able to see a "private" report, a "business" report or a "total" report. Any hints?
