In portfolio performance NASDAQ shows as a flat line.  What is the fix?

Have you got the correct symbol for the Nasdaq, COMPX?  Because I'm sure not seeing a flat line.

Are you downloading the Quotes for COMPX?

Problem solved.  I just adjusted my timeline from 7 years to 5 and it pullsup nasdaq.

Actually, I think that you've found a legitimate bug.  On that screen (now that I know where you're looking) I get the same results ... but clicking on the first and last data points shows that they are VERY different values ... they're just not getting mapped properly.

[EDIT] I've got values for COMPX going back to 1998 ... but If I graph anything before about 18 months ago, I get a flat line.  DEFINITELY a bug. [/Edit]

Check your price history for blanks or corrupt values. I'm not seeing it and if the OP resolved it, I suspect table corruption rather than a bug.

ALL of the indices that are options to use on that graph come out as flat lines.

SO, you're suggesting that all of the indices, and only the indices, have corruption ... and the actual accounts (8 of them) don't have corruption.

More than a little unlikely.

What it looks like to me that, rather than charting prices, they're charting "values held" ... and since you can't hold an Index, they're getting $0 values.

I see a reasonable error message if I try to graph an index beyond 5 years ago.

See my comment of yesterday.  If I try to graph COMPX (for which I have almost 20 years of values) going back beyond about 18 months, I get a flat line.

But if I select that same graph with less than 18 (or so) months of data ... I get the expected graph.

I have index data back to 2002 but account data only back to about 2006. If I choose dates before 2006 I get the flat lines for indexes and then my accounts pick up as the data arises.  But if I choose dates after 2006, I get the expected graph. So something odd is going on but it is not a time issue. I suspect something in your data is preventing Quicken from solving the baseline $10,000 calculation normalized across selected accounts and indexes at Time zero.

What we know (I think) is that selecting a Time zero prior to having account data causes the flat line for indexes. You obviously have data prior to 18 months so there is something else going on. I have 10 accounts selected and 3 of those 10 do not go back to 2006 so selecting only accounts with data throughout the entire time period is not the issue.
