Question about Automated transactions
Hi, I'm back again with a question. I really, really love what I can do with automated transactions. However, I run into one problem: Suppose I have a credit card whose debt I track in Liabilities:CreditCard. Generally its rather nice to see how my equity is in the current month. That I can do with ledger assets liabilities. Each month I pay my current credit card debt, i.e. I know that after this payments that Liabilities:CreditCard won't affect this months' equity. However, running ledger assets liabilities would be affected by all credit card payments done afterwards. I would like to split Liabilities:CreditCard in Liabilities:CreditCard:Current and Liabilities:CreditCard:Next. In Liabilities:CreditCard:Current I would have all payments which are due this month, in Liabilities:CreditCard:Next all payments due next month. It would be great to have an automated transaction which transfers the content of Liabilities:CreditCard:Next to Liabilities:CreditCard:Current when my paycheck arrives. I started with = /Income:Salary/ * Liabilities:CreditCard:Current 1.0 * Liabilities:CreditCard:Next -1.0 but that obviously would lead to a transfer of an amount which is equal to Income:Salary. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.

Re: Automated transaction with variable amount
Unfortunately I have not found a solution to this problem yet but I would like to ask a related question: In the middle of each months I have to balance my credit card. Expenses I pay with my credit card follow this transaction scheme: Expenses amount Liabilities:Credit_Card In the middle of each month the liabilities are paid off: Liabilities:Credit_Card amount Assets:Checking Everything I buy in this month with my credit card will be due in the next month. Generally I love to see my current equity each month which can be achieved by the command ledger bal assets liabilities Of course I can specify this report and eg exclude certain assets or certain liabilities. I would like to use that to seeonly the credit card debt which influence how much money I can spend in the current month . My idea is that I have an account liabilities:Credit_Card:Next and one called liabilities:Credit_Card. The first one would be used for transactions done after I paid off the Credit card. With a modification of the ledger command I could exclude the sub-account Liabilities:Credit_Card:Next from the balance calculation: ledger bal assets liabilities and not Credit_Card:Next Now, I would like to have one automated transactions: - Each end of the month, when I get my salary, I would like to move the whole amount from Liabilities:Credit_Card:Next to Liabilities:Credit_Card (Just a thought I got now: Could the same be achieved with effective dates?)

Re: LedgeR - a shiny visualization of account values
@lifepillar, thanks für the feedback! Regarding the usage of vim with R I unfortunately do not know much, but have you tried this plugin: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2628 - Thanks for the information regarding formatting numbers in Ledger. I have to say that I have to learn a lot in this regard. - You are of course right to swap the signs which would come in handy when distinguishing debits and credits. I'll implement that. - Regarding the different commodities I have to admit that I am a complete newbie. I dabbled some time in cryptotrading, so the respective transactions might be a decent training ground. But getting the hang of different commodities might take some time. - With the pie chart you are completely right, I mainly wanted to obtain a qualitative information (and use a pie-chart), but I will apply a bar chard instead. - I will at least look upon the sourcecode of the Ledger-plugin. Heat maps of the net worth sound too interesting not to be implemented! - As I finally need to learn to use ggplot2 (I mean, its embarassing not to use this package...) I will at one time switch to ggplot2. @Chris Bennet: I also thank you for the feedback!

LedgeR - a shiny visualization of account values
Hi all, bored during watching TV I played a little bit around with the shiny dashboard-framework of R and made a small visualization tool of the account balance and the register in R. It is of course a really rough sketch, will be quite buggy, so suggestions and criticism is greatly appreciated. Some aspects of the implementation are rather specified to the way I use Ledger, eg my Account structure is at the max three levels deep.

Automated transaction with variable amount
Each month I put some money aside resevered for paying my phone bills: = /Income/ * Assets:Phone €50.00 * Liabilities:Phone €-50.00 = /Expenses:Phone/ * Liabilities:Phone 1.0 * Assets:Phone -1.0 So, lets assume I get my income and pay my phone bill and, to make my point clear, the next income: 2015/05/29 * income Assets:Checking €2000 Income 2015/06/13 * phone Expenses:phone €30.00 Assets:Checking 2015/06/29 * income Assets:Checking €2000 Income Now, when we look upon the Liabilities:Phone register we get: 15-May-29 incomeLiabilities:Phone €-50.00 €-50.00 15-Jun-13 phone Liabilities:Phone€30.00 €-20.00 15-Jun-29 incomeLiabilities:Phone €-50.00 €-70.00 As we see, the Money I put aside for phone bills culminates. But that is not what I would like to see, I would like to have a pot filled with €50.00 each month. So, my initial idea would be to have another transaction which sets my Liabilities back to zero each time I pay the phone bill. However, I don't know how to implement that.

Monthly Liabilities
Hi all, I have a new question: Currently I would like to optimize my Journal File so that monthly liabilities do not need to be written every month. Thus my former preamble of the Journal file: 2015/01/01 * Opening balances for January 2015 Assets:Checking €2500.00 Liabilities:MasterCard €-200 Liabilities:Savings€-250.00 Liabilities:Rent€-600.00 Liabilities:Loan €-120.00 Equity I have changed to this one: ~ Monthly from 2014/12/01 Liabilities:Savings€-250.00 Liabilities:Rent€-600.00 Liabilities:Loan€-120.00 Assets 2015/01/01 * Opening balances for January 2015 Assets:Checking €2500 Liabilities:MasterCard €-200 Equity Lets say, that I had a later transaction where I payed my rent: 2015/01/10 * Rent Liabilities:Rent €600.00 Assets:Checking If I check the Balance reports, I get for the first version this one: €1900.00 Assets:Checking €-1330.00 Equity €-570.00 Liabilities €-120.00Loan €-200.00MasterCard €-250.00Savings 0 but for the second version that one: €1900.00 Assets:Checking €-2300.00 Equity €400.00 Liabilities €-200.00MasterCard €600.00Rent 0 Thus though I see that I spent my rent the monthly liabilities are not expressed in the report. Can someone tell me where I make an error? Best, Philipp -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Ledger group.

Re: Cannot get ledger-mode to run properly
Thanks for the answers so far. Currently I am a little bit puzzled because after restarting emacs the ledger-mode does not work anymore, I get the following message: File mode specification error: (file-error Cannot open load file no such file or directory ledger-mode) The filename is Journal_ledger.txt and the .emacs part concerning ledger is as follows: (autoload 'ledger-mode ledger-mode A major mode for Ledger t) (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name /usr/local/Cellar/ledger/3.1/share/emacs/site-lisp/)) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(\_ledger.txt$ . ledger-mode)) Am Samstag, 10.

The latter one works perfectly fine as command line tool in any folder, ie ledger is to be found in the $PATH-variable. However, if I try to run ledger-mode in emacs (obviously after setting it up in .emacs as described in the manual) I get the error message after trying to generate a balance record: Command: ledger -f /Users/phil/ledger/test/input/demo.ledger bal === /bin/bash: ledger: command not found Hmm... Could it be that the emacs shell works with a different $PATH-variable?

Re: Cannot get ledger-mode to run properly
That was the needed solution. Thanks a lot! Am Samstag, 10. Januar 2015 14:12:10 UTC+1 schrieb Phil Gee: Hello, I am fairly new to ledger and emacs.
