    You say you add the dividends on every one of your "assets". What assets are they?

    Yield ("Dividend Yield") comes from the Quicken investing data feed. It is only available for stocks traded on the public exchanges when you download "quotes and investing information". Do you download this information?

    Thank you

    As a matter of fact I do not download the data, just do everything manually because I am not in the US and cannot connect the brokerage accounts. I have to keep doing it in an exel. Thanks anyway

    What information exactly are you looking for?

    In the Investing > Portfolio views, you can customize the columns to show various yield related data. Some of this is downloaded if that is available to you and some is based on the data you have entered. The following provides a mostly accurate description of the columns

    and this has a clearer description of the calculations.

    I suggest you experiment with the columns and compare to your spreadsheet.
