It sounds like you still have placeholders. Have you deleted all the placeholders?

You don't need to delete all placeholders, just the one for the cash balance.skeleton567 said:No, I delete a placeholder for a single stock, then try to enter the related transaction(s) to reconcile the shares for that stock. I should not have to delete all placeholders to reconcile a single stock. I'm trying to balance to each quarterly statement in succession, and have completed probably a dozen quarters before this started. Unfortunately, the financial institution did a horrible history download and each quarter has placeholders that accumulate buys from purchases and buys from dividends for the several funds that I held. I just want QW to stop the automatic stuff that is WRONG.
BTW, before this problem began, I could enter the individual transactions, and QW would automatically update the remaining shares in the placeholder. That seemed to work fairly well, and then I would delete the placeholder when it reached zero shares.Quicken user since Q1999. Currently using QW2017.

Also, it's been a long long time since I experimented with placeholders. Doesn't deleting the placeholder delete all its associated transactions?skeleton567 said:No, I delete a placeholder for a single stock, then try to enter the related transaction(s) to reconcile the shares for that stock.

If you have a placeholder for the security dated later than the transactions you are entering, you will get a balancing cash adjustment.skeleton567 said:No, I delete a placeholder for a single stock, then try to enter the related transaction(s) to reconcile the shares for that stock.

So the trick is to work backwards in time, resolving the Placeholders as you go.skeleton567 said:No, I delete a placeholder for a single stock, then try to enter the related transaction(s) to reconcile the shares for that stock.

As best I can recall and I am not a placeholder expert' the conventional wisdom circa QW2014 was to delete the placeholder and any transactions entered after that placeholder but pre dating the placeholder. Then you had to re-enter those prior dated transactions. Just deleting the 0-share placeholder did not eliminate the effects of that placeholder.
I am open to correction if I am misstating actuality.0
