        <title>NEW FUNCTIONALITY - Now you can refresh your Excel reports by running .bat file</title>

        <description><![CDATA[Hello,

I just updated the download scripts that now include the following new functionality.
- Each PowerShell .ps1 script now has its own version. This change will not have any impact on you now, but because of this, you will need to update all of your .ps1 scripts. This change will allow better handling of script changes in the future.
- There is a new PowerShell script, RefreshPSExcelReports.ps1. Every single line of this script was written by ChatGPT. This script refreshes Portfolio Slicer Excel reports. With this script, you now have an option to refresh your Excel workbook from .bat file.
- I added new .bat files: RefreshPSExcelReport.bat and RefreshPSExcelReport-Lite.bat that run Excel refresh scripts.
- In other older .bat files, at the end, I added a line to refresh Excel reports, but that line was commented out (starts with REM ). If you remove REM, your Excel workbook refresh will be done at the same time as you update your quotes/exchange rates.
- If you use Task Scheduler to update your quotes, you can now include refreshing your Excel workbook at the same time. You can read more on how to schedule a refresh here: https://www.portfolioslicer.com/scripts/schedule-data-update.html. Keep in mind that if the scheduled refresh includes an Excel workbook refresh, the configuration is slightly different (bold on that page).

In my own configuration, all quotes, exchange rates, and Excel workbooks are now refreshed through Task Scheduler. As my Portfolio Slicer report workbook is stored on Dropbox, I can now open that workbook from my phone, and it will have my investment information as of the last refresh time. That is very convenient.]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Dear team,

First of all, thank you for the amazing tool. 
This is my first time installing, I don't have any previous versions on my computer.
I am using: Windows 11, PowerShell 5.1
All files were downloaded from https://www.portfolioslicer.com/download.html

As of 2026-01-26, my downloaded files have the following issues:
1. Full installation ZIP file v3.1.0: https://www.portfolioslicer.com/download/v3.1/PortfolioSlicerV3.1.0.zip
-&gt; There are 2 folders: Demo and Empty, I checked the MinDate and tried running UpdatePSData.bat from Demo first. I got the 3 following errors, I have not edited any data from psConfig.txt:
Error (1): please specify  parameter. 
<img src="https://support.portfolioslicer.com/uploads/editor/1i/gnh3ur983vhq.png" alt="" />

The current instruction for psConfig.txt does not show this parameter nor how to adjust (https://www.portfolioslicer.com/scripts/config-file.html). In Demo folder, the psConfig.txt file does NOT have the  parameter

Error (2): Each row should have exactly three column separators -&gt; I have not edited any other parameters
<img src="https://support.portfolioslicer.com/uploads/editor/it/5atiky9srgre.jpg" alt="" />

Error (3): Symbol -&gt; I have not edited any other parameters
<img src="https://support.portfolioslicer.com/uploads/editor/6h/x3vbout66n4q.jpg" alt="" />

In the Empty folder, the psConfig.txt file DOES have the  parameter, I have adjusted the path to the extracted folder on my computer:
<img src="https://support.portfolioslicer.com/uploads/editor/rb/gu9ak7gsx79v.png" alt="" />

 When I run the UpdatePSData.bat script, no more Error (1), but Error (2) and (3) persist.
Same thing when I add  parameter and run .bat in Demo folder.

2. Script v3_20251211 (2025-Dec-11): https://www.portfolioslicer.com/download/v3.1/PortfolioSlicerDDMScriptsV3_20251211.zip
- The psConfig.txt file does NOT have the  parameter
When I run script, Error (1), (2), (3) appear, and another Error (4) below
<img src="https://support.portfolioslicer.com/uploads/editor/yk/bfeyc3dsqbgr.jpg" alt="" />

When I try adding the  parameter to the .txt file and run .bat, no more (1), still (2), (3), and (4)


Please let me know how to fix these, and kindly re-check if the files in current download links are the most up-to-date

        <description><![CDATA[Chat GPT support for Portfolio Slicer
Link: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-69475d6a54f48191bbb572c7ccefced1-portfolio-slicer-coach

🧭 New: Portfolio Slicer Coach (Beta) — Interactive Help for Portfolio Slicer Users

I’m happy to share something new we’re experimenting with — the Portfolio Slicer Coach.
This is a beta project that uses ChatGPT technology to provide interactive help, explanations, and troubleshooting for Portfolio Slicer.

💡 What It Does

Portfolio Slicer Coach is designed to help you:

    Understand how Portfolio Slicer components work — macros, modules, and sheets like UpdatePriceHistory, Symbols, and PSSettings.
    Troubleshoot refresh or data update issues with clear, step-by-step guidance.
    Get explanations that link directly to the latest Portfolio Slicer documentation and related forum discussions.
    Learn how to interpret your own holdings, transactions, and performance data.

It’s meant to act as an on-demand tutor and troubleshooting guide, so you can better understand both the technical and analytical sides of Portfolio Slicer.

⚙️ How to Access It

To use the Coach, you’ll need a free ChatGPT login at chat.openai.com.
Once logged in, you can open the Portfolio Slicer Coach directly from the link provided on the support site or documentation page.

You can start by simply describing your issue (e.g., “my prices aren’t updating”) or pasting a small sample of your data (holdings or transactions). The Coach will guide you through possible solutions and learning steps.

🔒 Privacy &amp; Security

    You do not connect your Portfolio Slicer file or provide any credentials.
    You can share small data snippets (like a few rows from your Holdings or Transactions table) to help the Coach analyze and explain.
    All processing happens securely through ChatGPT; data you share is only used in that chat session.  No one else sees your data but you.
    You should  mask account names or identifiers, or remove them completely,  before sharing a snippet of data.

Your Portfolio Slicer workbook always stays on your computer.

⚖️ Licensing &amp; Accuracy Notes

This tool is an independent educational assistant, not part of the Portfolio Slicer software itself.
It’s built on publicly available documentation and forum information, and does not run any macros or change your data.

Because it’s powered by ChatGPT, its answers may not always be 100% accurate — especially for rare or very recent issues. However, it does check the latest documentation and forum discussions to stay up-to-date. We’ll continue refining it based on your feedback.

🧪 Beta Experiment — Your Feedback Matters!

This is an experiment to see how useful an AI assistant can be for the Portfolio Slicer community.
I’d really appreciate your thoughts — what worked, what didn’t, what it got wrong, and what felt most helpful.

Please post all your feedback, bugs, or suggestions in this same support thread. Your input will help decide whether and how we expand or refine the Coach going forward.]]>

step 10 it states that: "You are <b><i>not</i></b> ready to publish your Portfolio Slicer data to PowerBI.com website ...." 

I think you meant to say that "You are <b>now</b> ready.

A very minor point.

        <description><![CDATA[I think I did something wrong. I had added a bunch of transactions saved look ar reports and it all looked like something. I then realized I needed to start much smaller to ensure I understood what was happening, so in the src spreadsheet I simply deleted all the rows in the transaction worksheet except a couple at the top. I save it and ran refresh. However all the original data is still in the transactions.csv file. When I run the report spreadsheet it still shows all the original data.

How do I go back to a blank transaction worksheet and start again, without having to fill out all the other worksheets again.

        <description><![CDATA[Hello Vidas,

I would like your advice before proceeding.

I have a handful of equities that I have transferred from one account to another.  

For example, I owned 40.57 shares of XME. When I moved them it was 40 total shares with the .57 being returned as cash.

I am not worried about the cash but need to know how to transfer the 40 shares to an existing account and account/remove the .57 shares in portfolio slicer so its accurate.

Thanks in advance,]]>
