Cash not appearing in Investment Allocation Graph

KnnNike

I have several investment accounts with cash balances. However, Quicken's investment allocation pie chart refuses to "see" this cash, even when "All accounts" are selected in the dropdown. I even went and manually checked the box for each account to be included in the pie chart, just to be sure. No dice.

The only time Cash shows up as an allocation class is if I tell Quicken to display retirement accounts only in the pie chart. If I choose "All accounts" or "Investment accounts" from the dropdown, the cash category doesn't appear...even though I have both taxable and retirement investment accounts with cash balances.

This seems to be a new behavior, as of the last update or two. Is this a bug?

Just a WAG... Perhaps you have a non-retirement investment account with a negative cash allocation reducing the aggregate cash holding to nil or less?

Check the customisation of the graph and see if you have "No Security (includes Cash)" selected:

Yup, I definitely have this selected. To be clear, I have been using this graph for almost years (across different iterations of Quicken), and I have not changed any settings recently.

Also, like I said, the cash category shows up when "Retirement Accounts" is selected from the main dropdown, or when individual taxable investment accounts are selected. But if I choose "All Accounts" or "Investment Accounts", cash doesn't show up.

I should also mention that I've done a super validate on my Quicken file. This seems more and more like it's a bug

I am away from Quicken at the moment, but I recall seeing differences in the AA graph between selecting "All accounts" and selecting Custom and then selecting them all. You might want to try that.

@Jim_Harman haha, that was actually what I tried second...I probably could've worded that better in my original post:

"I even went and manually checked the box for each account to be included in the pie chart, just to be sure."
