Hi folks,
Is there a way for us to tell ledger to prefer the pricedb value over the
@@ purchase value in an entry?
My situation here is that yesterday I made a purchase of an ETF on the
secondary market and while my pricedb has the end-of-day price of the ETF

Have you considered using the Python API?

Python has lots of libraries, including statistics, html templating and PDF
APIs, so I imagine you could build what you wanted within it.

Hi,
I use ledger to track my time working on tickets, and sometimes I end up in

Typically as your liabilities increase you'd be offsetting them with
expenses, to balance the accounts.
Then you would run a report on your expenses for the time period you were
