ledger-mode not formatting periodic transactions

hello, I'm new to Ledger and have a puzzling issue. When I input periodic transactions into my journal, ledger-mode won't format them correctly. However it handles normal transactions OK. It looks like this: 2019/12/25 automatic entry expenses 100

Re: Periodic transactions aligned to started date

in a different account tree (Budget:Expenses:...), using automated transactions to replicate expense postings into the budget tree. Works well, but periodic transactions would be better - a lot easier on entry (I have written scripts to do it, but it gets messy). I haven't got much experience in Cpp

For another, what if you need two periodic transactions with different days? Also, it may work for week days but obviously not for month days (--start-of-month 14?) -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group. To unsubscribe fr

OK, I've just tried using the --start-of-week 4 instead of Thursday and I get the result I expect: $ ledger -f budget-test-weekly.ledger reg --budget --start-of-week 4 --no-color 2017-11-02 Budget transaction Expenses:Biweekly $-20

Re: Setting periodic transactions with beginning/end dates?

A follow-up question. Is there a way to have the period retain the offset established by the start date? E.g. weekly every wednesday, yearly every Oct 1st, etc.? Output from the period command seems to suggest that the offset is reset after the first (shortened) period: (I'm currently on

Is there a way to set period transactions to have beginning or end dates? e.g. say I have a projected weekly income of $100.00 from Foo only until a specific date, and conversely a projected weekly income from Bar of $110.00 but only from a specific date onwards, which I would think of as
