: I normally use "Earliest to Date" but then yield is NA in graphs and reports.
: I'd like a selection "First Investment to Date" so I'll get actual yields.
: Or am I missing something?

: Thanks, Joe

Hi Joe,

Good point. The yield interpolation for both ROI and Fund Performance yields used to go by the first recorded price. Recently we changed this so the ROI yields use the first recorded transaction to determine when to report a yield versus NA. It makes good sense to be able to set the date range accordingly. We'll plan on this.

For now, you can make a workaround if you want. You can turn on "Options / Yields / Interpolation Range / Allow interpolation prior to first recorded data", and this will allow ROI yields to be calculated more often. The ROI yields will not be affected by time periods where you didn't own any shares, but they will also be reported over time periods where you didn't own shares (instead of being reported as NA), which can cause confusion, and was why we made this change.

Thanks,
Mark
