How do period expressions work with --begin and --end?
Hi all, I was wondering how things like "this month" work with --begin and --end. I did some experiments, and it looks like you can give "this month" or "last month" as an argument to --begin and --end, and their meaning is "the first day of that period". So: --begin "last month" --end "this month" is apparently equivalent to --period "last month" Is that correct? Also, is it documented somewhere?

I did some experiments, and here is what I came up with. Can you confirm that I guessed correctly? 1. I can do ~ Daily from 2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01 ~ Daily from 2023-01-01 (the intervals are closed-open, like with -b/-e). Right? 2. The --invert option does nothing for the `budget` report. Correct? 3. If I don't provide -b, the default for the budget seems to be what was in `~ Daily from`, but the transactions from before that date also count towards the actual expenses. That probably means that I should /always/ provide -b to the `budget` report. Is that right? 4. If I don't provide -e, the default (for the `budget` report) is --current. Is that correct? 5. If I don't provide `from` in `~ Daily`, the default seems to be the date if the /first/ transaction on a given account. Right? 6. (Almost) last but not least -- the `budget` report gives me a table with 5 columns: - actual expenses - budgeted expenses - the difference (negative means I spent less than the budget -- a bit counterintuitive, but makes sense given the order of the previous two) - what percentage of the budget was spent - name of the account Using classical spreadsheet column names: C = A - B and D = A/B (as percentage). Do I guess correctly? If so, this means that the web app I wrote to present this exact information is mostly irrelevant. %-P Still, it draws a nice chart which is accessible from a smartphone. I have a post-commit hook which scp's the file to my VPS, and the web app there serves the chart - that's a very useful arrangement I plan to blog about one day. Now, my final question is this. Much of what we discuss here is apparently undocumented in the Ledger manual. My book is my book, and it contains examples and such, but I think it is fair to have these options at least mentioned in the manual. I have just fetched the ledger repo, and I can see that the last commit in `ledger/doc/ledger3.texi` was 7 years ago... Would you accept a PR with a small manual update?

Thanks for the answer, but that still does not explain the "450" figure
for me. Of course, the total is 2700, so I assume Ledger divided it by
6 -- but why 6?

With Emacs ledger-mode and autocompletion, I don't think a large number of accounts is a problem. OTOH, the question is, how _useful_ are these "expense categories" to you.

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?

An easy way would be to use the tikz LaTeX package, which can position
things in arbitrary places on the page. The downside is that it needs
two LaTeX runs, but with a script that shouldn't be a problem.
I'm sure there are simpler ways, but this is the hammer I know.
BTW, don't forget to say \pagestyle{empty} in your template or else you
end up with a pagenumber at the bottom!

Hi, you can of course bind your function to whichever key you like (e.g. with M-x local-set-key, M-x global-set-key or in your init.el), but notice that you may also press C-x 8 * E (not that this is an extremely convenient binding;-) ). > Thanks in advance!

Not really what you want, but a similar thing. I don't like mathematical expressions in my ledger file, so I wrote a simple Emacs Lisp function which takes everything to the left of the point (≈cursor in Emacs-speak) consisting of digits, point, operation signs and parens and having at least 3 characters (I later changed that to two), feeds this into Emacs Calc and replaces with the result (formatted with two digits after point), optionally with the currency symbol added. I use it on a daily basis and I have to say it's /extremely/ useful.

Issue with average expenses
