A wish for an "average-only" report #1012
Comments
That looks pretty good. --average & --average-only would be mutually exclusive, and we'd describe them that way and give an error if both are used ? Or (simpler, preferred): the last one on the command line wins. --average-only would be available on all the commands that currently support --average. |
Would adding -T/--total still be allowed ? |
Thinking about this more, this request is really just an output modifier. Perhaps it doesn't justify a new command line option but rather an |
I think --format isn't supported with multicolumn reports. |
FYI: A way to do this with https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv hl b -S -MA -O csv | xsv select Account,Average | xsv fmt -t '\t' | column -t Does not work well with multiple currencies. |
Add a flag --only-summary for multi-column balance reports, which only displays the summary columns (--row-total, --average). This is useful when there are many columns (a weekly summary over many years) where you're only interested in the average (or some other summary).

There are a (admittedly few) times when I want to see only the average balance of an account over some interval. For example when estimating a monthly budget amount for expenses, or bringing printed data to show a financial advisor, or just when the width of a report is unwieldy.
One possible implementation could be to add an
--average-only
option. This option would only make sense when using one of the interval options -D, -W, -M, -Q, or -YOutput might look something like this:
