ok, thanks for the responses. I don't want to stop using ledger because it's the only program I have ever enjoyed and I've tried many. My work around (in case anyone ever has this problem in the future) is I created an excel file with the same formatting as ledger's budgeting system. The excel file will automatically calculate the exchange rates from my base currency to the foreign currency.
In ledger I run *ledger -f ledgerfile.ledger bal expenses -p "this month"* I transfer the expense categories into my excel file and I immediately see my budget in my base currency in all categories. It's a tiny bit of extra work but it works and more importantly I can keep using ledger using this method. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
