[GNC-dev] [GNC] Reports: Help normalizing a list of gnc:monetary values

[Christopher Lam]

Hi, the simple answer is gnc:monetary/ would divide two monetary amounts
and the result is not a monetary but a simple ratio.

(define (gnc:monetary/ a b)
 (/ (gnc:gnc-monetary-amount a)
    (gnc:gnc-monetary-amount b)))

This would do the trick. Afterwards, for the chart amounts you can use the
unit-less ratio directly. Do feel free to attach your work and we'll help
you complete it.
