Though I would agree with Derek that that is the clean thing to do ATM, there is support for formulas in the expressions right now; they are defined in scheme in src/scm/fin.scm. One outstanding bug is to better represent the formula containing the variable being bound at since-last-run time to make that adjustment process easier [knowing that the 'adj' var you are binding is going to 'adj'ust the default value of $125, or whatever]. WRT having an external table or external data-source lookup for a datum of the function/formula ... this is something that very-advanced-budgeting might want as well [lookup regional/national fuel costs, for instance, to predict current/upcoming expenses] ... but that's pretty far out of scope for 1.8. Though a table represented in a scheme expression for very simple lookups could easily be created. ...jsled -- http://www.asynchronous.org - `a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo ${a}@${b}` jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED], ICQ:4983267, {AIM,YIM}:joshsled _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
