<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Alvaro,<br>
I understand. It was only yesterday when pointing at "Skip value
if price is zero" that I saw the note explaining that this option
was for investment reports ..... instead of balances as all other
reports do. I'd never seen that note before.<br>
I nice option for investment reports but a bit misleading for
silly guys like me when offered for configuring Budgeted vs.
Actual reports.<br>
<br>
Again, I very much appreciate your prompt help - great!<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<div>Hello Michael,<br>
</div>
First of all, thanks for the detailed explanation.<br>
<br>
</div>
There should be no interaction between that option and
budget reports. As you guessed correctly, it has to do with
prices of currencies and investments, and it's intended for
use only with invesment price reports.<br>
</div>
<div>There's no similar option for budgets, at least that I
can remember.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
I'll go into the code and fix, since I added the option.<br>
<br>

Thanks for your help.<br>

<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>

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>
