Transform with Lisp

One of kakei's most powerful features is the ability to transform and analyze your transaction data using Lisp expressions.

View All Transactions

kakei transform --program "table"

The table variable contains all your transactions as a Lisp data structure.

Group by Category

See spending broken down by category:

kakei transform --program "(group-by table (lambda (pair) (cdr (assoc 'category (cdr pair)))))"

Group by Account

See transactions grouped by account:

kakei transform --program "(group-by table (lambda (pair) (cdr (assoc 'account (cdr pair)))))"

Get First Transaction

kakei transform --program "(cons (car table) ())"

Skip First Transaction

kakei transform --program "(cdr table)"

Get First Two Transactions

kakei transform --program "(cons (car table) (cons (car (cdr table)) ()))"
