FT Portfolio - daily change total errors?

Anybody else use FT Portfolio and getting the issue that the Todays Daily Change figures seem to showing as 100x less than they should be (e.g. a change of £24.50 is showing as 0.2450 )even though % change is correct and the Total Gain/loss column seems to be OK?  

Noticed it first yesterday.  Tried logging off and back on and clearing caches etc but still the same today.  Seems to have been a few odd glitches on the portfolio tool recently.

  • If my internet connection is poor, I get an alarming message that there is precisely nothing in my real portfolio on another platform.
  • I've not used the FT service in particular but don't think these sorts of things are unusual. On a fairly regular basis my iphone stocks app (which I think gets it's data from Yahoo finance) reports one of my funds loosing 99% of its value. Digging further the decimal point seems to have slipped to the left by 2 places! Seems to recover after a few days. 

    I'm sure you can imagine my reaction first time I saw that happen!

    Have you reported the glitch?

    Seems to be suffering from GBX/GBP confusion for some securities, showing GBX under the item name in the left column with GBP in the price column (or vice versa). It's giving me millions that I didn't have last week.

    I'm exporting prices to CSV, then importing to MSMoney. I can correct the prices in Money but this doesn't fix the apparent gain.
