how to get only the positive amounts in the Investment Income Report?

Camlin

Recently the Investment Income Report includes the positive and negative amounts for reinvest dividends. This makes it difficult to determine the total amount of income form investment. Prior to my "Upgrade" in April the reposts only included the only the positive amounts from div, Reinvt etc. Does anyone know how to correct this issue or when Q will correct the so called "improvements"

I'm on R34.24 but I'm not seeing what you're reporting here when I run an Investment Income report:

During the period of time shown I've had dividends reinvested that have been shown both as Divs followed by Boughts, and as ReinvDivs. 

Are you saying that the Boughts are being shown as income or expense, or that ReinvDivs are being shown twice, once positive and then again negative?

Could you post a screen shot of what you're seeing?

as you can see the net amount is zero which for several securities its difficult to see the actual income.

Based on your 8/17/21 3:42PM (Pacific Time) post it looks to me that you are "clicking through" the dollar amount on the  _DivInc line of the "Investment Income Report" and focusing on the ReinvDiv transactions.  But if what you really want is to understand the dividends "by security", then subtotal by Security and make sure to show both the "Amount Invested" column and the "Cash + Invest" column.  The "Cash + Invest" column will show the real dividends.

thank you. that did what I was looking for.
