Balance Sheet & VTSMX

[Hurford, Frederick William]

Charles,

I looked at all the items you mentioned.  I don't use multiple currencies.  The price editor had a non-zero result.

The issue is no longer present.  I have to assume there was user error somewhere that got corrected in the process of looking at the items you mentioned.

Thanks,
Frederick

What is the "price source" setting in your balance sheet report's options?  (Run the balance sheet, then click the Options button on the toolbar and look in the Commodities tab.) If you have correct prices in the Price Editor, then running with a "most recent" price source should get non-zero results. However, if you are running with an "average cost" or "weighted average" price source and get a zero price then you may have some problems with your transaction data.

Also, do you use multiple currencies?

P.S. To show the prices used to compute your balance sheet, click the "Show Exchange Rates" option on the Commodities tab. The prices will appear at the bottom of the report, which is sometimes helpful.
