GnuCash Advanced Portfolio Report

[David T.]

Richard--

Not to worry. My intention was to help you get better answers more quickly.

I'll note that there has been a lot of traffic on the list recently about the Advanced Portfolio report (perhaps that it's tax season in the US...), and whether you know it or not, your trouble fits in with that discussion. Having a more accurate outline of the trouble helps others understand the nature of the issue, and then they can give good answers.

David

You are absolutely right! Please accept my apology. I really don’t want to waste anyone’s time especially when we as individuals are in a desperate mode to fix the problem at hand.  This was my first time using this mail listing and to be honest, wasn’t real sure what to expect. Next time I will be more specific. 
 
Bottom line is that my report IS functioning and my being new to GnuCash, am a novice at it. I am learning every day more about the program and how best to work with it. I have transferred my data from Quicken to GnuCash and am finding this a rather rewarding program.
 
I appreciate the input.
 
Meanwhile…God Bless and have a GREAT DAY!
 
Richard

Richard--

For what it's worth, your original message was rather misleading (as suggested by another list reader). You stated that the report "crash[ed] when you enter[ed] a sell transaction." Your answer (changing the price options) suggests that the report was still functional--it just wasn't giving you useful data. That's a very different problem. 

It would have been better if you had stated specifically that the Basis entry on the report was not accurate once you entered a sell transaction (if that is what actually happened).

Regardless, I am glad the report is working for you now. Now, if it would work for me, I'd be happier.

Cheers,
David

So is there smoke coming out of your computer?

You won't get any help for such a vague question.

Try describing what you did and what results.
