hello everyone,

so, I'm making a tiddlywiki to keep track of expenses, incomes and such, 
using gentag <http://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/GenericTagFields/> and 
formula <http://evanbalster.com/tiddlywiki/formulas.html> plugins.

Now, the structure would be something like this (just an example):

* accounts
**bank
**cash
*expenses
**car
**mortgage
* incomes
**work
**teeth selling

Each transactions would be a tiddler with the fields: from, to, value.

Every book will have a type field, for example bank would have "account". 
work "incomes" and so on.


So, if I want to know the value of all the money in my bank, I could just 
use the formula widget by doing so, and it works alright:

<$formula formula="sum([[bank]listed[to]get[value]]) - 
(sum([[bank]listed[from]get[value]])) + 
sum([all[current]get[initialvalue]])" precision=3/>

The problem arises in two points:

1: if I want a general formula that I can use for every tiddler and just 
paste it as a macro. This is what I've tried so far:


\define accountValue()

<$formula formula="sum([$(book)$listed[to]get[value]]) - 
(sum([$(book)$listed[from]get[value]])) + 
sum([all[current]get[initialvalue]])" precision=3/>
\end

<$set name=book value=<<currentTiddler>>>
<<accountValue>>
</$set> 

This only considers the initialvalue field, no in and outs.

2. I would then like to get all the value of all the accounts, let's say 
bank and cash, so I tried to put the first formula widget in a "totalvalue" 
field, and to call it from an "account" tiddler, like so:

<$formula formula="sum([[accounts]listed[type]get[totalvalue]])/">

but I only get an error

CompileError: invalid operand 
"sum([[accounts]listed[type]get[totalvalue]])/"


So... frankly, there is something I'm missing, but I've been working on it 
for 3 days now, trying to understand what's the issue, making a macro in a 
macro in a macro calling different variables with set widget, but no good.


I hope I managed to explain myself, I would greatly appreciate any help, of 
course once done it will go in my github with the other tiddlywikis!


All the best and have a nice day
