Still playing around with this. When I run this command:
ledger file.ledger balance --budget -p "this month" --exchange USD I receive the amount remaining available for the month but it doesn't show the percent remaining. Can you show me how to do this? if it's possible? I tried using awk but it made things very messy. I would just like to see something like this: $1000.00 50% Expenses $500.00 25% Mortgage $500.00 80% Restaurants Right now I just see this: $1000.00 Expenses $500.00 Mortgage $500.00 Restaurants On Monday, June 12, 2023 at 11:13:24 AM UTC-5 o1bigtenor wrote: > On Mon, Jun 12, 2023 at 10:56 AM Scott A.
