Could be a problem with EUR-to-GBP. I have some Euro-denominated shares (Eurotunnel CDIs) and I get a valuation consistent with the entries in the Pricedb. I clean the thing out periodically ("Remove old") so there's only one price-in-EUR to deal with, and it is evidently using the latest EUR-to-GBP entry (since number of shares * price-in-EUR * EUR-price-in GBP, rounded, gives the displayed value, and earlier EUR-to-GBP values aren't close enough). So: 1. How many entries do you have in Pricedb for AIR.PA? 2. How many Currency entries for EUR? 3. What is the product of the share quantity and the latest entries of the above two? _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
