Why doesn't the Day Gain/Loss report accurately in my Fidelity accounts?

I have Quicken Mac. Typically, within a specific Fidelity account, I may have 6 or 7 funds. I'm comparing them to my actual Fidelity account on a Saturday when markets are closed. The last price, quantity, market value, shares, purchase date and cost basis all are ok, however, the gain/loss for the previous day, Friday is incorrect for each of these funds within the account. I cannot comprehend why. It's not off by cents or rounding either. Any suggestions?

    On Saturday, a "Day Gain/Loss" would be comparing Friday close to Thursday close … is that what you're looking at?

    Also, it's quite possible that QMac and QWin do this differently, but in my QWin when I look at that value using a Saturday date I get $0 … because there's no quote for Saturday.

    This seemed to happen with the latest update. I chose to review it on Saturday so there would be no fluctuation due to the open market. I don't understand why all the columns match but the daily gain/loss. I am changing the date to Friday, all the columns match as I described above, except for the day gain/loss.

    I also have another issue, similar but not the same, so I'll post another question. I never had any of these issues until the latest update.

    This seemed to happen with the latest update.

    There hasn't been an update to the Quicken Mac application since May.

    Ok, then it didn't happen with the last update. I don't know why it's happening now, I think it's been going on for at least a month. Any suggestions? TYIA.

    Actually, I have another issue with Fidelity and someone else reminded me that Quicken had me relog into Fidelity a few weeks ago; that was what I was referring to, I had forgotten exactly what it was. But apparently at this time, the connection was changed from DC to QC; hence my problem, it's not fixed yet, but at least I understand why. Now I need to learn how to change Fidelity from QC to DC when DC is greyed out. It says that Quicken Classic uses QC…oh brother…
