I'm missing about $1800 in the cash of an investment account, going back to 2013.How to fix?

I can't find the error. Can I just add a correction to my Mac account so it matches my brokerage one?

@pjw7 It's possible that just making an adjustment back at the beginning of time will be fine and you can move on -- but not knowing the cause of the discrepancy means that there might be more problems around the corner.
Before going too far, have you checked back when this account originated in 2013 to see if there is a gray placeholder transaction. If not, can you compare the first few transactions in 2013 between your Quicken 2007 and Quicken 2019 to see what's different?Quicken Mac Subscription • Quicken user since 19935 -
I think It was a transfer in kind from this account in 2012 which also I seem to have recorded as a cash deduction. I just redeposited the cash from my slush fund cash account (which I don't track) and all is well!0

This is no trivial amount and need more explanation regarding going back to 2013. Has this always been off by the same amount going back six years or just a recent development? If recent, did you delete an account or transaction that may have been a transfer to this account? If it's always been off, can you go back to an earlier (2013/2012) statement to try and determine the cause? As a last resort you can make an adjustment, but IMHO that is not the right way to find an error.

Was converting accounts from Q2007Mac to the new subscription QMac version. the Q2007 account coincides exactly with the Broker's statement every year. The new Q file is short $1809 in the cash portion every year. Right now, I just want to retain Q2007 for history, and move ahead with QMac. Can I just insert an error correction entry of !809. in the QMac 2013 account, or would that cause a pile-up elsewhere?0

I've actually been using Q2007 since 1999, but it was a long slow learning curve with many mistakes.0
