Re: convert command: output in USD automatically?

Hello, I think there's no straightforward way of doing that. Ledger is rather agnostic of currencies anyway. It'll happily handle as many as you wish, unlike others similar tools, where you need to have an internal/default currency. So I myself just add another rule to the sed script that I need

Re: convert command: output in USD automatically?

Greetings, On one hand, you are absolutely right. Even if I buy something from the US, I'll end up paying in my local currency. (Including paying any taxes/duties and banking fees too) However, if you have ever lived abroad or moved across country borders, you'll most probably have holdings in

Re: Multiple journal files?

Hello, My solution is to have one file per bank account, and the transfers are marked with an UUID tag, so they will only be considered by ledger, when seen for the first time. Also, when including multiple files, you have to be very careful with the balance assertions, as balance is calculated

Re: Show balances in one account using a different currency than the rest?

Hey, Well, accounts can have several currencies in them, so technically it's shown in the same currency it has been "accounted for" in the first place. (Pun intended... :)) Regards, Dan On Mon, 12 Mar 2018 at 05:21 Gavin Hughes wrote: > Is it possible to create a balance

Re: Categorised transactions and summary reports

Hello Dan, Well, there are several ways you can do this, actually. Even looking at your example, it kind of suggests a way of doing this. Categories, or "accounts" in beancounter-speak can be hierarchical, so you could do: Expenses:Rent:Property A Expenses:Rent:Property B

Re: Virtual postings and balance assertion

Hey, Just a hunch, but I feel it's a bit odd that the virtual account names match the real ones. I'd double check that, maybe using ledger register to see what the rolling sum is. Regards, Dan On Tue, 27 Feb 2018 at 15:03 Ryan Nowakowski wrote: > On Tue, Feb 27, 2018 at

Re: convert csv command and --input-date-format

Hello, Just a quick guess: are you sure, there's a single space between the date and the day name? I've had a couple of sleepless nights over such things in the past, so it might be worth checking. Also, I believe, those are locale dependent, but I assume your computer is set to English. If all

Re: Possible bug: Re: How does --unrealized work?

Backup and cloud-storage

Good morning fellow ledger-lovers, I was just making slight changes to the layout of my journal files, and adjusting my workflow accordingly, and realised, I got to the point, where I have invested way to much time into this to be able to re-do it, in case my laptop would go missing – or the data

Re: ledger convert command does not work

Hello, I believe, it'd need that to have things like previous account balances, valid account names, and other directives covered. So after the convert, you'll have an "incremental" piece of journal, if that makes sense. Regards, Dan On Tue, 16 Jul 2019 at 02:18, Matthew Sewell wrote: > The

Re: Question for users

Good morning, Just my two cents: I reckon, most barcode readers are actually pretty much "keyboards". So you could write a little script, that expects the barcodes to be "typed in", and then spits out the correct ledger format. Regards, Dan On Sun, 6 Sep 2020 at 13:07, o1bigtenor wrote: > On

Re: plugin for vim

Good afternoon, You can verify, that the file has been loaded, by saying ':scriptnames' in normal mode. Also, I'd try to actually set the filetype with ':set filetype=ledger' to see, whether you can trigger it that way. And also, perhaps try ':help ledger'. Hope that helps at least to some

Getting philosophical: Expenses vs Assets

Good afternoon, I (think I) do understand the textbook definition of the above, but I find myself in doubt in many cases around how I would model a certain transaction. On the face of it, it is very simple: if I spend $100 painting my room, that's clearly an expense. Buying a car is clearly

Monthly investment report

Hey, I've been looking into adding my investments to my ledger-based plain text accounting system recently. On one hand, I love the ability of ledger to automatically infer unrealised gains/losses. Makes things a lot easier, and less error prone. However, also like the feature outlined in

Investments, prices and IRR

Good morning ladies and gents, I already wrapped my head around how to track day-to-day finances with ledger. So, the next logical step is to capture things like investments and such. I can import the transactions from the statements, no problem. Then I reckon I'll record the prices in the
