: : In the last row of the report sheet "portfolio performance",
: : I don't understand the meaning of the item "%gain-I".
: : It seems incorrect. I think it should be "((end value/invested)-1)*100)" like all the others rows above.
: : In my report the result value is different (much lower).
: : Thanks for the reply.

: Hi Massimo,
: If you select "Help/Help on Report..." while viewing this
: report, you will see the equation used for this figure. It
: is 100 * (end value + dist dist + redemptions - purchases)/purchases

: Purchases is the beginning value, plus any money added into your investments.

OK, I just saw it, but if I manually compute the totals the result value is different from as it should be. My total values (last row) are:
invested:236,750.69; distribut:0.0; end value:273,884.08; gain:37,133.39;
%gain-I:8.73.

I think the %gain-I value should be 15.68 instead of 8.73

thanks for the reply!
