manual portfolio set up - data register

[gwind]

After adding data in each field the "market value" is in accurate. example: Buy/Sell Transaction for opening balance...fields filled in: shares 419.588; price 21.34; value $8,954.01; total $8,954.01

then after adding 9 distribution transactions, the shares total 467.3270 for a market value of $9,932.17 but it reads $9.93 market value. It has to be a simple solution but I can't seem to find it. Any help is appreciated.

Hi gwind,

Market value is the share balance (which sounds like it is correct) times the market price. To see what pricing you have recorded, look at this investment in the Data Register, and in the upper/right, set the Data Type to "Prices". It sounds like you might have a price 1/100th too low?

Thanks Mark, I did as you suggested, and clicked on "prices" ...everything looks correct except it does show 9.93 for today's date. And the end result, which shows in the very right corner, still says 9.93. I tried to send a photo, but it is too large.

Hi gwind,

For the problematic date, what are the Close, Shares, and Value columns showing?

That led me to it. I shifted that decimal point and it corrected it. Now I know what to look for. Thank you !
