Summable account balances

[Dan Sladden]

How to I produce a list of account balances without sub-accounts being aggregated up the tree?

From this:

2021-01-01 One

    Assets:One        $100

    Assets:Cash

2021-01-02 Two

    Assets:One:Two     $50

    Assets:Cash

I want a report like this:

               $-150  Assets:Cash

                $100  Assets:One

                 $50  Assets:One:Two

which nicely sums to zero (note the balance of Assets:One).

But with --flat --no-total I get this:

               $-150  Assets:Cash

                $150  Assets:One

                 $50  Assets:One:Two

which doesn't because the balance for Assets:One includes that of Assets:One:Two.

Thanks

This is imho a bug in --flat. I ran into this recently and opened
this issue:

As a workaround, you could run multiple ledger bal commands
and combine the output into one file. You would run:
ledger bal ACCOUNT$
The $ indicating end of string, i.e. without subaccounts.
