Here is a pull request that demonstrates a "better" handling of the
exchange. Basically, conversion to the report currency should happen
*after* the balance change has been computed, not before. If it happens
before, it makes the historical, cumulative total's exchange-rate
fluctuation during the
Yes, it's cumulative, which is a problem I think.
Let:
0 indicate the opening of the book
1 indicate the start of the budget period in question
2 indicate the end of that period
S_i indicates the sum of transactions since 0 at marker i, in the currency
of the sub-account
P_i indicates the sum of
As long as the change in value isn't cumulative, I would want to know.
If I wanted to budget the same 'purchasing power' as last period/year, I
would not want to budget the exact same nominal amount. (on that note, a
feature to factor inflation for budgets would be swell!)
But I do
Hi Fred,
Thanks for the thought! I agree the change in value is 10,000. My point is,
basically, that I don't care about currency fluctuations in money already
spent when planning *next* year's budget.
But the 'problem' (which might just be that I need someone to explain what
a 'budget' is!) is

Just to add that I was wrong that this could be solved by making budgets
with a single period. I *think* this problem arises for any multi-currency
sub-accounts and becomes visible when you have a book which has been
running for many years. In that circumstance, the 'actual' column is only
Hi Adrien,
Thanks for the mental bandwidth on this. I don't like replying inline, but
I'm going to grit my teeth and do it here - forgive me!
Cheers,

Christopher Lamm had been working on various aspects of the Budget
Report not long ago. He may be able to squeeze in a look at this. He'll
likely be the one to see your bug report and maybe shed light on the
math logic.
If I can find some time this weekend I'll test as well. I normally don't
Dear all,
I've done some digging, and Gnucash totals seem to be wrongly reported for
budget reports with multi-currency sub-accounts. But I'm not an accountancy
expert at all, so perhaps someone can explain the accounting logic behind
it? Perhaps a report that can imply 1+1=3 should have a
Hi!
Any clues as to where to start to understand this odd budget report
behaviour? Browsing the code, I wondered if I should start pulling the code
apart here:
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/master/gnucash/gnome/gnc-budget-view.c#L1011
to understand why the totals would be combined in
Dear all,
I spend in two currencies and, historically, I chose to create separate
accounts under each expense line for each currency. In future I will do
this differently, employing trading accounts, but what I'm about to
describe should still work. I budget in my 'home' currency, and the budget
