: : when i use the portfolio performance feature, i am getting inconsistencies in the %Gain-I. for instance, my "invested value" is 100 and my "end value" is 200. My "gain" is correct at 100, however the "%Gain-I" gives a wrong value. please assist. thks

: Hi Steves,

: How are you determining the %Gain-I is wrong? It may just be calculating differnt than you expect? From within this report you can select "Help / Help on Report", and then the equation for %Gain-I will be available. This may clarify why the figure is being reported the way it is. Also, if you're looking for a different %Gain you might want to use a Custom report, and choose whatever %Gain you want.

Hey Mark,

Thanks for reply. I understand the computation, however I find that it is correct for some investments and off in others. For example, these are the numbers I am getting for one investment (report date is from initial investment to current date):

Beg Value Invested Distrib End Value Gain %Gain-I
0.00 10,982.17 0 11,067.72 85.55 .50(should be .79?)

Below is another example of a sub-portfolio total

Beg Value Invested Distrib End Value Gain %Gain-I
0.00 22,011.78 0.00 22143.69 131.91 .25 (shouldn't the %Gain-I be .59?)
