Greetings

I do somewhat regular currency transactions so I do have a method but it
isn't a general all of the file method. Rather each transaction (in a
foreign currency) is changed into my 'home' currency. That's for every part
of the transaction (and its a RPITA when I have 6 different categories of
items in that transaction.) I'm doing these changes using my onscreen
calculator. Wish there were a good addin that I could use to do this for
me. Have been thinking of rolling something in awk to do this and also for
my cost accounting stuff. AIUI keeping your books is to be done in ONE
currency even if you deal with others. The others are related back to the
primary one - - - that's what the tax boys seem to want!

Once again sorry here..  I read some older forum and its D CAD 1,000.00 for 
currency specificity.

My apologies.

Currency Change

[James]

Hi,
I have added the following on the top of my ledger file 

= P 2017/05/26 USD 1.35 CAD

I assume the above should enable me to use -X CAD and get a report in CAD 
but it doesn't .

Any suggestions?
