That I do, however that column seems to hold also changes in the value
of the assets therein (I believe?), whilst I only need the actual
purchase/sell price.

Mhh this might have been much easier than I thought it would be…

Trying it out I can indeed have what I was looking for.  I probably need
to filter things a bit but I am seeing a final value that is off by
single-digit EUR from what I manually counted so it's indeed great.

Thank you for the suggestion!
