Is there a way I could see my is view monthly, but from current date from each month? I.e. if I ran the command today I would see January to April where each month is showing expenses and incoming from 1-9, i.e. 1-9 January, 1-9 February, 1-9 March and so forth?

Idea is to have a comparison how expenses/income ratio is going compared to previous months at the "same time".

Like for January only I could $ hledger print -b $(date +%Y-)01-01 -e $(date +%Y)-01-$(date +%d)

In hledger I have my income set up like income:job:main (gross) and taxes are in expenses:job:tax, so when I run: $ hledger is -t job I can see my net value for my work and if I run $ hledger is -t other expenses come into play as well.

Sometimes though, I would like to be able to see the income statement view with my net for my job under Revenues and the rest of my expenses under Expenses. Is there any easy way to do this with an alias or similar?

I have a csv file I'd like to read, seems I'm correct other than parsing the date. The csv file shows the date like so: ""2023-03-04 07:54:33"

I've tried a bunch without success. I feel it should be:

date-format %Y-%M-%D %H:%M:%S

But nope, getting an error it can not parse it.
