Hey guys,
This is my first post in this forum.
First of all I would like to be excused for my english, im from Chile so my native language is spanish. Ill try to do my best to explain my problem.
So I have this excel file with a macro to introduce the products, in my case shares, with the amount, price, date and type of movement (buy or sell).
The thing is that when i sell i want to do it by the FIFO method but im not achieving that.
I can upload my file with an example of what is doing wrong.

For example first ill buy 100 shares of Apple with the price of $15 per share,
then ill buy 50 shares more with a price of $20 per share,
to finally sell 120 shares for a price of $25 per share.

if i do the mental math my gain of capital with FIFO method should be:
100*(25-15) + 20*(25-20) = 1100
But im not getting that.
Please if you could help me ill be very happy.

Thanks

I've done the same post in another forum but got no answer

Excel Forum requires login to download files or view pictures so I don't think everyone can see your file. Can you take a screen shot? And upload the image to a website like Imgur.com and put the image here

No one can upload files to this site. But there are tools you can use to post screen images. They are listed in Section B of this link here: http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/board-a...forum-use.html.

Also, there is a Test Here forum on this board that you can use to test out these tools to make sure they are working correctly before using them in your question.

Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet
in this image is my main sheet in which you type the information, i mean kind of transaction( buy or sell), amount of stocks, price per unit, date

in this image you can see where the info goes to, the macro generates a sheet per stock entered in the program


the rest of the images are form my vba code.
