net assets over time period

[Rob Pyott]

Hello, what would be the command to get the net "bal" output over a
certain period? (Right now I use the bal "assets" "liabilities"
command, which gives the net balance. I would like to have that net
figure over a period of months.) Thank you!

Hi,

*Maybe* you could achieve what you want using `reg --monthly`?

In my case, this didn't work well because I want to have the commodity
prices that change over time reflected in the report as well. At the
moment I am running

$ ledger bal -X <curr> -p "until 2022-10" --now 2022-10-31
$ ledger bal -X <curr> -p "until 2022-11" --now 2022-11-30 $ ledger bal -X <curr> -p "until 2022-12" --now 2022-12-31
$ ledger bal -X <curr> -p "until 2023-01" --now 2023-01-31
...

to get balance changes over time. There is a parameter called
--historical but I found that for me the combination of --historical
and --monthly doesn't work well:

This worked pretty well for me, thank you! (I will aim to tweak a bit...)
