That account register doesn't have any transactions in it, so it won't have any value either. Is it possible that in the past, you used a report to see the parent account balances, or even the Chart of Accounts? And if the account in the screen shot is a placeholder account, then you a)

While it's always best to try to use the latest versions, Richard's error message doesn't sound like one that has to do with currency rate retrieval (which I believe is the major bug that F::Q1.53 is meant to fix). I would personally check to see what quote sources are selected for each

Hi Richard If you have configured your GnuCash securities to retrieve their prices using AlphaVantage then you need to make sure that you have entered your API Key in GnuCash preferences. Also, depending on the problem, it may help if you upgrade to a later version of of Finance Quote:-

I just installed GnuCash on Ubuntu 22.04LTS (it is version 4.8 from the Ubuntu Software area). On a different Ubuntu, I had an older version running, and back then, price updates were working. I managed to mess up that gnucash Linux install, so I haven't been updating quotes - I've been using
