: I am using the Custom Report feature to analyze my investment but can not seem to get a correct value for the average out-of-pocket price for any of my investments with multiple out-of-pocket purchases.

: The Cuistom report shows correct values for: "Purchases-c(end)" & " Purchased Shares". But, neither "Avg purchase price-c(end)" nor "Avg purchase price(btw)" calculates a correct average. The method I used to calculate an average is a volume weighted average, ie the sum of the individual shares x price divided by the total shares purchased.

: Please advise.

Hi DonJ,

Can you send me your investment file, along with the date range of the report
you're looking at? Can you also send what value FM is reporting, and what
value you're calculating, and how you calculate it? I can take a look.

Thanks,
Mark
