: Mark,
: Upgraded to FM Pro 8.6 and now the %Gain I on the Totals (Top Level Portfolio) is showing N.A. on the Performance Report. Went back and reloaded 8.5 and the %Gain I is back to a value. Same dates etc.
: Thanks,

Hi Gary,

In version 8.6 there were changes to handle properly reporting %Gains for short positions.

If you have an investment that is both long (positive share balance) and short (negative share balance) within the time period of the report, these %Gains will report as N/A, and so will the overall sub-portfolio.

If you didn't intentionally have any short positions, please check that maybe you didn't sell a small fraction of a share too much, so you ended with a negative share balance. You can turn up the share digit display to 6 under "Options / Preferences... / Display", and then look in the Data Register under the "Prices" data type to look at your running share balance out to 6 significant digits.

Thanks,
Mark
