Dividends not being collected

0neinthisworld

I've had this problem for as long as I can remember but now have more curiosity to solve the problem. My Excel workbook doesn't have any dividends being populated. What do you suggest I need to look into to investigate the problem?
I appreciate any knowledge you can give on this. Thanks

Hi,

Some time ago Yahoo stopped providing dividend information, so, if you expect automatic dividend calculations - that does not work. You would have to enter all received dividends manually in the transaction table.

Thanks for the update Vidas
Could you kindly let me know what the format of the inside of the file(s) should be to manually build the collection of dividends?

Hi,

More info about final Dividends file is posted here: http://portfolioslicer.com/data/file-dividends.html
But I would strongly recommend not to use "Generated dividends" functionality - This feature will be not implemented in the next release as there are no source data for that.

Please read the section "Entering Dividend transactions manually" from here;
