Portfolio Value graph excludes one subportfolio

Questions on using, creating, or understanding data in Fund Manager graphs.

Hi,

I have a problem with the "Portfolio Value" graph (and the "Portfolio Cost - Value"). It is not including a recently added sub-portfolio in the total value and I don't understand why. If I look at a Portfolio Value report using the same sub-portfolio as the "starting point" for the report as I used in the graph, the total value is correct. But if I display it as a graph, the total excludes my newly added sub-portfolio.

I don't know whether this is relevant, but at the same time as I added the new sub-portfolio I also created another sub-portfolio solely for the purposes of being able to subtotal my holdings by different criteria. What I mean, is that I have one "master" sub-portfolio with my holdings separated according to who is managing them and another (containing only "links") that sorts the holdings by whether they are in my or my wife's name.

I have also tried bringing up the "Portfolio Value" report and then choosing "Graph -> Portfolio Value" directly from the right-click menu in the report window. The same problem occurs.

I am attaching a screen shot of the portfolio structure in the editor, with the sub-portfolio that I believe is being excluded highlighted.

Thanks,
Steven

Hi Steven,

When you graph a sub-portfolio it always includes everything beneath it, so I am not sure of the issue. Is it maybe you're looking at the report/graph on different dates? How are you looking at the portfolio totals? One possibility is that graphs do not plot weekends by default, so that can be a source of confusion if comparing totals between a report and graph. Just make sure you're looking at the same dates.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

It was the "graphs do not plot weekends by default" thing that mixed me up. When I set the date range to include next Monday, the graph updated correctly.

Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Steven
