@ -763,11 +763,27 @@ name components. Note `--depth` doesn't work too well with `--flat` currently;
it hides deeper accounts rather than aggregating them.
With a [reporting interval](#reporting-interval), multiple columns
will be shown, one for each period. By default each column shows the
sum of postings in that period, equivalent to change of balance. This
is good for a multi-column income statement:
will be shown, one for each period. There are three modes available:
$ hledger balance ^income ^expense --monthly --depth 3
1. By default each column shows the sum of postings in that period, ie
the account's change of balance in that period. This is good for a
multi-column income statement:
$ hledger balance ^income ^expense -p 'monthly this year' --depth 3
or cashflow statement:
$ hledger balance ^assets ^liabilities 'not:(receivable|payable)' -p 'weekly this month'
2. With `--cumulative`, the report shows the ending balance for each
account at the end of each period, starting from zero at the report
start date.
3. With `--historical/-H`, it shows the actual ending balance at the
end of each period, including any balance from postings before the
report start date. This is good for historical balance sheets:
$ hledger balance ^assets ^liabilities -YH
