How the Date Range Selector Works

Learn how Navexa’s Date Range Selector changes what you see in portfolio views and reports, and when to check date range versus import or sync issues.

Updated this week

This feature helps you quickly re-base your portfolio performance to any timeframe so your returns, charts, and holdings view match the period you’re analysing.

The Date Range Selector changes the start and end of the period you’re viewing in Navexa, so performance and holdings are recalculated for that selected timeframe.

What It Changes

The Date Range Selector affects two main things in Navexa:

  • performance calculations across the selected period

  • how holdings appear at the end of the selected range

When To Use It

Use the Date Range Selector when a trade or holding already exists in Navexa, but what you see changes across views, reports, or timeframes.

This is most useful when:

  • a holding appears open in one timeframe but closed in another

  • performance or charts look different after changing the selected period

  • a holding appears or disappears depending on the report or page

  • you want to re-base performance to a different period

Important

If a trade is missing from Trades or All Trades, this is usually not a Date Range Selector issue.

In that case, check the import, sync, or source data first.

Performance Is Rebased

Performance, returns, and charts are calculated from the start of the selected range to the end of the selected range.

That means gains, losses, income, and performance from before the selected start date are not included.

Holdings Are Evaluated At Range End

A holding is shown based on its position at the end of the selected timeframe.

For example:

  • if you sold a holding after the selected end date, it can still appear as open

  • if you sold a holding within the selected range and Hide sold instruments is on, it may be hidden

Common Issues

Why Does A Sold Holding Still Show As Open?

A sold holding can still appear open when:

  • the sale date is after the end of the selected range

  • you are viewing a shorter timeframe that does not include the sale

  • the trade exists, but the selected range does not include the sell date

If the sell trade is missing from Trades or All Trades, this is not caused by the Date Range Selector.

Why Does A Holding Look Missing?

A holding can look missing when:

  • it was bought after the selected range starts

  • it was sold within the selected range and Hide sold instruments is on

  • you are viewing a different portfolio

  • you are using a custom range that excludes the trade date

If the trade is missing from Trades or All Trades, troubleshoot the import or sync first.

Where It Appears

You’ll see the Date Range Selector on many portfolio and performance pages, including:

  • Portfolio Overview

  • Portfolio Detail

  • Holding Overview

  • Transactions

  • Benchmark Analysis

  • Portfolio Contributions

  • Income Contributions

  • All Trades

  • All Dividends

  • Historical Cost

Where It Does Not Apply

Some reports use different date controls, so switching to All Time does not apply there.

Common examples include:

  • Tax Reporting

  • ATO myTax report

  • Taxable Income report

  • Portfolio Valuation

  • Unrealised Capital Gains

  • Portfolio Diversification

  • Income Calendar

Quick Troubleshooting Checklist

Use this order when something looks wrong:

  1. Check whether the trade appears in the holdings Trades tab or Performance > Transactions > All Trades.

  2. If the trade is missing, troubleshoot the import, sync, or source data.

  3. If the trade exists, check the Date Range Selector.

  4. If a sold holding still appears, confirm whether the sale date is inside the selected range.

  5. If needed, switch to All Time to confirm the full visible history on pages that use the Date Range Selector.
