GOOG Class A 2014 Stock Split and Name Name Change to GOOGL

James W Rivers Jr

With the GOOG Class A Stock Split (1 for 1) and a Name change to GOGL on 10/5/2015, some how the resulting data lost the original GOOG Class A cost basis.  I just noticed that in Quicken 2018 R11.18 the cost basis shows as $0, but the original GOOG Class A cost basis was $578.08.  My Fidelity account shows the correct cost basis as $578.08.  How do I get the Quicken 2018 "Holdings" entry for GOOGL  changed to show the correct cost basis?

I suggest you remove any placeholder transactions that may have appeared in the transaction list.  If you haven't already, you may want to review:

Thanks, I removed two of the Place holders (Sold GOOG Class A at $0 and Bought Alphabet Inc Class A GOOGL at $0) and edited the Security Info to show the Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) name and Symbol..

Primarily because of blowing up your cost basis information, I would choose Remove Shares and Add Shares rather than Sell and Buy.  The Add Shares transaction will allow you to carry forward with your cost basis and original acquisition dates.
