Portfolio Values in Graph and Report Don't Match

[saroman]

After a Win 7 OS reinstallation (required because of corrupted system files) and a subsequent reinstallation of FM Personal 11.9 I reconstructed and cleaned up my Master Portfolio. Now, on the Portfolio Value Graph the value shown is different from the value shown in the Portfolio Value Report. The report seems to have the correct value and I can't figure out why the value on the graph is significantly lower. Any assistance in resolving the conflicting data would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi saroman,

Is the ending graph date the same as your report date? Are the graph and the report both displayed for the same sub-portfolio?

Hi Mark,

At the top of the graph window next to the portfolio file name it reads [Graphs: Portfolio Value (Master Portfolio)]. The Portfolio Report Settings dialog box shows Master Portfolio as the Sub-Portfolio.

Hi saroman,

How about the dates? If you look in the graph window at the lower/right edge of the X axis, what is the last date graphed? Is this the same date as your Portfolio Value report is set to display?

I'm sorry. I forgot to add that to my last post. Both dates are as of today, 6/9.

Hi saroman,

Today (6/9) is a weekend. Graphs are set by default to not display weekends. Are you sure the lower/right side of your X axis is displaying 6/9, and not 6/8? If you're checking the graph date settings in the "Graph Dates" dialog this may not be the same as the last graph date being plotted due to the weekend option. The value plotted in the graph legend is the last date graphed, which can be different than your ending graph date setting if the ending graph date is set to a weekend, and you're not displaying weekends on graphs. To see which is the last day graphed, read it from the right edge of the X axis labels.

To adjust whether or not graphs plot weekends see "Graphs / Options / Display...". There are two options in there that begin with "Omit Weekends". One is for portfolio based graphs, and the other for investment based graphs.

Unticking the Omit Weekends boxes fixed the problem. You're the best. Thanks.
