Stock split not showing in investment performance report
I have a stock investment that has split 6 times in the last 18 months. Some regular splits and some reverse splits. All 6 of the split transactions show up in the transaction report for that account/security, and all but the last split transaction show up in "show detail" in a performance report for that security. I have tried everything to figure out why all but the last split transaction show up in the performance report (e.g., ran validate, deleted and re-entered the last split a number of times, double checked the missing split transaction is identical in form to the other split transactions).
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have mutual funds from Dodge & Cox in multiple Quicken Accounts that recently underwent splits so I ran both the Investment Transactions report and the Investment Performance report covering all my Accounts and those specific D&C funds.
All of the splits showed up in the Transactions report.
NONE of the splits showed up in the Performance report.
The fact that the splits didn't show up in the Performance report is that a stock split, assuming there's no fractional shares created, doesn't meet the criteria for showing up in a Performance report, namely that cash moves across the "boundary" of the Investment Account(s) into or out of one of the other Accounts in the file.
Put another way, a split with no fractional shares does NOT affect the value of the securities in the Account.
So I'm guessing that the "split" transactions that showed up for the first 5 transactions had some element of "cash movement" while the last one did not.

A stock 'splitting' 6 times in 18 months - both forward and reverse splits - is really unusual in my experience. Please identify the security.
Do you actually men stock splits where only one security is involved, or could you mean stock spinoffs where a second company is created out of the first? For the latter case, 6 spinoffs in 18 months is more plausible.
