Thanks John. This isn't quite working for some reason, my automated transaction looks like: = Expenses:Home:Rent (Business:TaxDeductibles) (amount*0.15) ; total:: amount
But when I run ledger -f journal.ledger reg ^Business meta=total The report looks like: 012-Apr-02 John Smith (Busine:TaxDeductible) £90.00 £90.00 (note the 0 at the start) I've tried various debugging steps, like changing my metadata to "; total:: 100" and "; total: 100", both of which show: 10012-Apr-02 John Smith (Busine:TaxDeductible) £90.00 £90.00 in the report. Just seems like amount is always 0 in those automated postings. Am I doing something wrong?
