: Hi Mark, Happy New Year

: Try to update all the dividends reported,I use the distribution screen for each equity, add the shares and price for selected date, click OK BUT the total shares does not change and the graph Price+Distributions also does not show any changes.
: What am I doing wrong?

Hi David,

It sounds like you are doing it correctly. Are you in the "Distribution Transaction" dialog when you enter the dividend? Are you leaving the "Reinvested" option checked? If you go into the "Data Register" using "Edit / All Data..." and set the "Data Type" to "Distributions (all)" do you see your dividends listed?

Where are you looking at the total shares? Also, is the "Price + Distribution" graph date range covering the dates where you are entering your dividends? Do you have distribution markers turned on?

Thanks,
Mark
