Using your initial example, adding a header line to give a starting
point, the following works:

Actually, to end this thread, I actually used Eric Fraga's idea to just use
separate sections for each month, since this solves this problem indefinitely,
so thanks for the ideas in this thread as my workflow is definitely improved
for my finance spreadsheet.
Cool stuff, will include his quote

Hello,
I appreciate the enthusiasm for Ledger, but I really just don't like the double
posting idea period.
I just need totals spreadsheet style, that's about it. I think the whole idea
behind bean count is tedious.
I just don't think like a mathematician in this respect, too brainy for me.

It is very easy. I made a video for EmacsConf
Very true, my config would scare the average Emacs user as its too complex :)

The double reporting thing still doesn't apply to me.
Even if you pay with credit cards, ultimately it comes out of your regular bank
account to pay off.
To me, its easier to just focus on the single bank account, and obtain the
latest .csv from the current week (Last Saturday to current
fwiw, my experience: double entry is what i found ledger useful for.
iiuc it is that transactions go from one place to another, which felt
intuitive to me.
anything else, such as taking monthly averages, didn't end up as i
expected. weird concept of average to me, and v3 bugs with floating
point

Fair, it's a bit to
Aloha everyone,
I used ledger in emacs (with babel) for many years managing
the finances of two small non-profits. It did require learning
a few things but so does org-mode.
That's not to say that one size fits all, but ledger for me
took a lot of the work out of things, and once you learn how
The 'double reporting' idea might have been why I just flat out shook my head

its a bit too complicated and unnecessary for a layman.
I just don't need that kind of over-thinking when it comes to my finances since

Interesting - I've been using Ledger
Ah, Ledger is way too complicated for what it's worth. I've seen videos on
YouTube about it, and every person who's praised it is pretty much too smart
enough to be able to explain it in simple terms.
I don't like how manual and frequent it is, and for my use case, I just
download .csvs from

Hey there,
So I've been managing my finances via an org doc that basically has tables that
list all the expenses from my bank account, which has been awesome on some
respects.
The only annoying thing I want to somehow figure out this year is how to make
the process of updating the formula for
