Also, "balance" gives a different answer than "register" in that example.On Mar 22, 2024, at 3:29 PM, Bob Wilson  wrote:I'm having the same issue.Example file:~ Monthly from 2024/02/15    Expenses:Rent      $500.00    AssetsCommand:$ ledger -f test.dat --forecast "d<[2025]" register Expenses:Rent24-Apr-01 Forecast transaction         Expenses:Rent                             $500.00          $500.0024-May-01 Forecast transaction         Expenses:Rent                             $500.00         $1000.0024-Jun-01 Forecast transaction         Expenses:Rent                             $500.00         $1500.0024-Jul-01 Forecast transaction         Expenses:Rent                             $500.00         $2000.0024-Aug-01 Forecast transaction         Expenses:Rent                             $500.00         $2500.0024-Sep-01 Forecast transaction         Expenses:Rent                             $500.00         $3000.0024-Oct-01 Forecast transaction         Expenses:Rent                             $500.00         $3500.0024-Nov-01 Forecast transaction         Expenses:Rent                             $500.00         $4000.0024-Dec-01 Forecast transaction         Expenses:Rent                             $500.00         $4500.00Update example file:~ Monthly from 2024/04/15    Expenses:Rent      $500.00    AssetsSame command gives empty output.The other thing I'm noticing is the periodic expressions don't respect exact dates.

I would definitely expect periodic transactions to accept date ranges.

Re: Forecasting beginning in the future

[Bob Wilson]

I'm having the same issue.

Example file:
~ Monthly from 2024/02/15
Expenses:Rent  $500.00
Assets

Command:
$ ledger -f test.dat --forecast "d<[2025]" register Expenses:Rent
24-Apr-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent   
  $500.00  $500.00
24-May-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent   
  $500.00 $1000.00
24-Jun-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent   
  $500.00 $1500.00
24-Jul-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent   
  $500.00 $2000.00
24-Aug-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent   
  $500.00 $2500.00
24-Sep-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent   
  $500.00 $3000.00
24-Oct-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent   
  $500.00 $3500.00
24-Nov-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent   
  $500.00 $4000.00
24-Dec-01 Forecast transaction Expenses:Rent   
  $500.00 $4500.00

Update example file:
~ Monthly from 2024/04/15
Expenses:Rent  $500.00
Assets

Same command gives empty output.

The other thing I'm noticing is the periodic expressions don't respect 
exact dates. If my rent is due on the 15th, and my period expression 
denotes that, I'd expect the forecasted transactions to be on the 15th.
