Prices Not Applied To Newly Imported Investment

[jskahan]

I'm importing some old portfolios via a generic transaction import.

After I import one of these portfolios (port_1) I import prices via a generic price import which works fine such that I have daily prices for each holding.

Then I import another portfolio (port_2) that has some of the same holdings of the first portfolio. I go into investment properties of one of these holdings that is in port_1 and port_2 and when I view in symbol list both holdings are recognized as being the same.

The problem is that when I look at the prices in the data register of the holding in port_2 I can see that I'm not getting the same daily prices for the holding in port_2 that I'm getting in port_1.

Do I need to re-import the prices for the port_2 holding or is there a way to apply the prices that are associated with the port_1 holding to the port_2 holding? Thanks in advance!

Hi jskahan,

Yes, prices are stored separately in each investment. There isn't a "security" database that stores a common set of prices based on symbol. So, yes, you'd need to re-import prices for your 2nd investment of the same symbol. You could also copy/paste all the prices in the Data Register if you find that easier. You can select all of them, and copy/paste in one shot.

Ah I'll try the cut paste - thanks very much!
