Report of Distributions

[Ivan]

Mark,

I have a number of investments that I have been in and out of for months at a time, but I have continued to record their distribution/share over the time periods I have not owned them. I would like to get a report detailing the distributions I have received from those investments over a time period. I tried using the Investment Transaction Report, but there does not seem to be a way to exclude those distributions which were recorded but not received. This would be helpful to compare with the brokerage house statement. Is there a way to exclude from the report the lines where the distribution amount is zero?

Thanks,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,

Take a look at the "Distribution Summary" report. This is value based, and reports your actual received distribution values of each type.

Mark,

The Distribution Summary Report appears to have only the totals over the time period, not the individual transactions like the Investment Transaction Report. Is it a reasonable request to add a filter item associated with the distribution section to show only transactions where a distribution (whether reinvested or not) has actually been received? To look at it another way, the ones where only potential distribution/share is recorded are not even real transactions and should be excludable from this report.

Thanks again for a great program,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,

I understand. Yes, this is possible. A more general purpose filter might be to filter by transaction value, so you could exclude everything with 0 value.
