I can't tell what you're trying to do here, even with the
screenshot.  Sorry.

The two values that really matter are the #shares and the buy/sell
column.  The "price" gets auto-computed.  So if you just touch the
two columns and DONT touch the price column, it will auto-compute
the price for you.

But I still dont understand what you're trying to do.
