<div>Hello Alvaro,<br>
thanks for your response.<br>
<br>
I am owing and as well managing assets and accounts of various
types in the currencies EURO (base), SFR, USD, IDR, all in the
same KMM-files.<br>
<br>
Owners of these different accounts (residing in Europe) would like
to see, inter alia, the following reports and summaries:<br>
Income and Expenses, Cash-flow, Budgeting (budgeted vs. actual
yearly). <br>
In order to access ones property and do some planning, an easy to
grasp summary is desirable and furthermore to have it presented in
the owner's respective base currency, say in EURO.<br>
<br>
Now, all this works fine as long as you would not use the option
"Skip value if price is zero". But if you do the resulting figures
go beyond every imagination.<br>
Im not quite satisfied when proposing not to use this option
because:<br>
Firstly, it simply is offered there and thus inviting you to use
it - whoever put it there must have had something in mind.
Secondly, yearly reports "Budgeted vs. Actual" can become very,
very large and may contain a number of categories/accounts with
values (prices?) varying over time between zero and any higher
value. Navigating through the report becomes hard and each
position of temporary irrelevance (because it happens to be just
empty at that time) would make the spread sheet more lucid.<br>
<br>
As I said, this is nothing of any significant importance and I am
not a bit encouraging or asking to put any effort into this. But
then, this is not correct in my opinion. Perhaps simply remove the
option "Skip value if price is zero" and that's it? <br>
It also strikes me what is really meant here by the term "price".
Does this refer to the prices of currencies as shown in KMM's
Price Editor (I would anticipate it should). It goes without
saying that in my reports the "prices" are not empty but left
untouched all the time whereas other accounts/categories etc. may
show a zero value in one month and not in the next month.<br>
<br>
Looking at the exchange rate between EURO and IDR it is something
like 1 : 0,00006512. My precision is set to eight digits.<br>
<br>
Thanks to you and all those involved in creating and developing
this very fine program!<br>
<br>

<div>Hello,<br>
</div>
I haven't really tested, but I'm wondering what you expect
to get from the "skip value if price is zero" option. It's
originally meant for investment price options, and I can't
think of valid cases for using it in budget reports.<br>
<br>
</div>
What do you think this option should do?<br>
<br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hi all!<br>
in May this year I reported the following to the list but
got no response. Here it is again:<br>
<br>
<i>I am using various currencies next to my base currency
which is the EURO.</i><i><br>
</i><i> When setting up a budget all native currencies are
nicely converted to the base currency and shown as such.</i><i><br>
</i><i> In Report Configuration the option "Convert values
to base currency" is activated in the tab "Report".</i><i><br>
</i><i> The other two options are left not ticked.</i><i><br>
</i><i> The Budget Report looks as it should, i. e. all
currencies are correctly converted and shown.</i><i><br>
</i><i> </i><i><br>
</i><i> However, if "Skip value if price is zero" is also
activated, native currencies are NOT converted and I
turn from pensioner to billionaire the very moment I hit
ENTER (1 IDR becomes 1 EURO whereas it should be only
something near to 0,00007... Euro)</i><i><br>
</i><i> </i><i><br>
</i><i> This is not what I expected to see unless I
completely misinterpret the meaning of "Skip value if
price is zero".</i><i><br>
</i><i> Then, what the heck is meant by "price"?</i><i><br>
</i><i> Do we perhaps have a bug here?</i><i><br>
</i><i> </i><i><br>
</i><i> Cheers everybody!</i><i><br>
</i><i> </i><i><br>
</i><i> Oh, I am using KMM 4.6.3 under KDE 4.10.2</i><br>
<br>
Nothing really serious but somehow irritating. Am I the
only one to have noticed this behavior?<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
