\f0\fs28 \cf0 The following query makes it easy to see monthly expenses, with each\
|
|
month's expenses sorted by the amount:\
|
|
\
|
|
@example\
|
|
ledger -M --period-sort t reg ^expenses\
|
|
@end example\
|
|
\
|
|
Now, you might wonder where the money came from to pay for these\
|
|
things. To see that report, add @option\{-r\}, which shows the\
|
|
``related account'' postings:\
|
|
\
|
|
@example\
|
|
ledger -M --period-sort t -r reg ^expenses\
|
|
@end example\
|
|
\
|
|
But maybe this prints too much information. You might just want to\
|
|
see how much you're spending with your MasterCard. That kind of query\
|
|
requires the use of a display predicate, since the postings\
|
|
calculated must match @samp\{^expenses\}, while the postings\
|
|
displayed must match @samp\{mastercard\}. The command would be:\
|
|
\
|
|
@example\
|
|
ledger -M -r -d /mastercard/ reg ^expenses\
|
|
@end example\
|
|
\
|
|
This query says: Report monthly subtotals; report the ``related\
|
|
account'' postings; display only related postings whose\
|
|
account matches @samp\{mastercard\}, and base the calculation on\
|
|
postings matching @samp\{^expenses\}.\
|
|
\
|
|
This works just as well for report the overall total, too:\
|
|
\
|
|
@example\
|
|
ledger -s -r -d /mastercard/ reg ^expenses\
|
|
@end example\
|
|
\
|
|
The @option\{-s\} option subtotals all postings, just as @option\{-M\}\
|
|
subtotaled by the month. The running total in both cases is off,\
|
|
however, since a display expression is being used.} |
