: More report troubles. I did a "Investment Performance" report and the report listed a beginning NAV of $190 and an ending NAV of 284.63 as a gain of %105.56 (should be $94.63) and then incorrectly calculated the gain as 58.95% (should be 55.5%). Also the report used interpolated prices, beginning and end, when neither beginning nor end dates fall on a weekend.

: I have max. interpolation enforced at 2 days and interpolation prior to first date disabled.

: According to your recent post this report should be using the closeing price of the beginning date and not the prior date. So what is wrong?

Ken,
Did you have any distributions? These are factored into those numbers.
See the online help for details. While viewing the report, choose "Help/
Help on Report". There you will also see documented which dates prices
are used for. This report will always interpolate a price if you do not
have one recorded on the date required. Use 'Edit/All Data...' with the
"Prices" data type select to see the dates you actually have prices recorded
for. If you still cannot resolve how the numbers are calculated in this
report, please e-mail us this one investment file, along with the date
range to create the report for, we can then answer you in more detail.

Thanks,
Mark
