Schwab SWVXX Cost Basis Discrepancy

Question

SWVXX shows a lower cost basis and small capital gain even though all transactions are at $1.  This is when viewing "Holdings" in my investment account register.  The Schwab online and Quicken register balance holdings match each other ("Shares" and "Market Value" columns in the Quicken register.)

Please provide instructions for finding a potentially hidden placeholder or transaction and rectifying the discrepancy.

CTRL-Z did the trick!

I could probably use a file validate and repair, but I'll save that for another day.

Thanks for your help!

OK, 2 more things to try (I'm stretching here).  Take a backup before either/both.

In the account(s), click CTRL-Z to recalculate the account.  Did that help anything?

Do FILE, Validate and Repair and check ALL of those 1st 3 options (the printer settings option can be ignored)

I'm looking in the investment account → holdings → "+" to see all transactions.

The overall "Shares" and "Market Value" match my online account while the overall "Cost Basis" is about $200 less.  Expanding to see all transactions shows a $1 "Quote/Price" for all rows, matching "Shares", "Market Value", and "Cost Basis" numbers for all entries, and $0 "Gain/Loss" for every row other than the overall one.

The "My Holdings" box in the Security Detail View window shows an even lower cost basis and much larger gain, apparently because I hold SWVXX in two different accounts.  Could Quicken be using reinvestment purchases in its math?

There are no transactions other than buy/sell/div.  I started using SWVXX as a cash substitute in 2024, so there aren't that many transactions.

Thanks again for the replies.

EDIT: I can post only this part of the Security Detail View window.  See "% Gain" and "Avg. Cost Per Share" at the top:
