If you would like to override only a few closing prices or spot rates, please follow the instructions to manually adjust a closing price. As of PropReports version 1.5.92.28 you can use a comma-separated values (CSV) file to load a large number of quotes into PropReports. Please follow RFC 418 guidelines when creating CSV files. Notably, if you will have field values with commas, the field value must be in quotes.

Sample Data
If creating the file by hand, you can use a text editor or Excel (save the file as .csv). Note that for PropReports to recognize the file format, the spelling of the column headings must be exact. All columns after Price are optional and may be omitted.
