Greetings I have embarked on the odyssey of moving from an accounting system (modeled to be a double entry system) that I devised using spreadsheets to a more report oriented system and have chosen ledger as my platform of choice.
I have found some things in trying to make my first few entries work that prompt me to ask questions (hopefully that being allowed!!). Assets: xxxxxx: xxxx.xx.20.00 $ -69.79 (I'm using terse identifiers and GIFI codes with multiple suffixes.) I found that the negative sign MUST be just before the number or it is not recognized. Why can I not have it right after the currency symbol say? (Wanted to bump out the currency symbol and then any negative number would be quite obvious looking at the chart.) Assets: xxxx.xx.60.00: $ 57000.00 Is there a way to put a spacer in larger numbers (like the just previous example)? I would have rather had the entry look like this: Assets: xxxx.xx.60.00: $ 57 000.00 As when you get larger numbers (and lots of them) ease of reading helps in keeping track of things. Would there be an easy way to develop a 'guide' or some kind of cheat sheet from some of the things I have had to work my way through these initial steps? (See this as one way to pass back to the community.) TIA Dee -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
