Deleting brokerage transactions has no effect

Steve29

I'm reconciling a Quicken brokerage account to my monthly statement. (This has worked fine for years). I download the month's transactions. And I discover that the total shares of one ETF is wrong in Quicken. I start looking for the error. And I discover that I can delete transactions from the list without changing the total number of shares displayed. I continue experimenting and find that this is true of most but not all the ETFs in this account. It's as if the totals are frozen.

Does anyone have a thought about this? I assume I'm doing something wrong, but I'm mystified.

Thanks, Rick. Good suggestion, but I searched for placeholder in all columns — no hits.

Here's another possible clue — I can delete dividend reinvestment transactions from money market funds and the total number of shares changes. But if I do the same thing with other funds, the totals don't change. Does that tell you anything?

Thanks again —

If this was a problem with an ETF in Quicken for Windows, I'd suspect an incorrectly defined Security entry.
An ETF Security entry must be defined as Type = Mutual Fund or Stock.
It cannot be defined as Type = Market Index. That type is reserved for true a Market Index like the Dow Jones.

Could that be your problem?

Thanks, but I don't think so. It's been working fine for years. Nothing changed in terms of the definition of any security. But I checked anyway. They're all "Type = Mutual Fund".
