The heading for the column starting with £15824.56 is "Present(GBP)"
... for the column starting €14805.44 is "Total"
I agree that the bottom three amounts in the first column adds up to
£15824.56
Also
The total value of the three stock in Euro terms (see below) is €14805.44
The price of the shares and the Euro/Pound exchange rate were obtained
at (about) 1000 GMT this morning (ie approximately 11 hours ago). I
"froze" the book at that time so that I could work with fixed values.
The full details for each share follows:
Airbus
114 shares @ €85.56 equals €9753.84 @ (€0.89662 = £1) thus value
=£8745.49 *NOT £11631.65*
Deutsche Post
80 shares @ €38.92 equals €3113.60 @ (€0.89662 = £1) thus value
=£2791.72 *NOT £2361.44*
**
SAP
19 shares @ €102.00 equals €1938.00 @ (€0.89662 = £1) thus value
=£1737.65 *NOT £1831.77*
For completeness:
The implied Euro/Pound exchange rates for
Airbus (the conversion of €9753.84 to £11631.65) 1.1925
Deutsche Post (the conversion of €3113.60 to £2791.72) 0.7584
SAP (the conversion of €1938.00 to £1831.77) 0.9452
Take care

significant miscalculation in GnuCash - no disrespect or criticism
intended. The "base currency" I use in my accounts is GBP (£) but I
have some sub-accounts that are denominated in Euros (€). I attach a
screen shot of part of my chart of accounts (the two columns of
numbers are headed "Present(GBP)" and "Total"). The sub-sub-account
"Eric ISA (ii) Shares-Euro" is a placeholder of currency Euro within
a parent sub-account in currency GBP, itself under Assets also in
GBP. The pertinent line is the first one of the screen shot; the
Total is shown as €14805.44 (which is a correct calculation based on
the numbers of shares and their values) but this number appears to be
converted to £15824.56. This is obviously wrong as the exchange rate
is €1 = £0.8966. Also the conversions of the individual shares to
GBPs are also in error - but, interestingly, the implied Euro/GBP
exchange rates are different (1.19 for Airbus, 0.76 for Deutsche Post
and 0.95 for SAP). (The share prices and the exchange rate were all
obtained through the "Get Quotes" feature and were confirmed by web
searches.) If this were a general problem I'm sure it would have
caused quite a flurry of messages so I can only assume that, somehow,
I've screwed up somewhere (not unusual!) but I can't find where it
is. If any one can point me to my error I'd appreciate it. For
completeness I'm running GnuCash 3.8 with Finance::Quote 1.49 on
Ubuntu 20.04 (Frankly, I can't see that having any bearing on this
problem. But what do I know?) Take care, keep well
The amounts in GBP add up to 15,824.56. What are the headings of the
two amount columns on the accounts page? In the price database find
the latest prices for the three securities. What are the latest
prices, including currencies, dates, and amounts? What are the
GBP->EUR and EUR->GBP exchange rates for each of the dates of those
stock prices and what is the latest of each? Regards, John Ralls
