 Normally, hledger groups and sums amounts within each account.
 The `--pivot FIELD` option substitutes some other transaction field for account names,
 causing amounts to be grouped and summed by that field's value instead.

-or a tag name.
-Values containing `colon:separated:parts` will form a hierarchy, as account names do.
