Month-by-month results chart

I’m moving over from Morningstar’s Portfolio Manager that is being shut down, and one thing I miss - and I can’t quite replicate here - is the per-month summary they have under the results chart. This one:

It shows the end result for each month. I was for me an easy way to present results to other family members, without exposing the daily “bumpiness” so much.

Is there a way to get this output already? I feel like I might be missing a trick, as the Summary page is quite similar, although I can only see day-to-day changes and not month-to-month on the default view.

You can use Stack chart for this.

It compares group by default, so you can modify the chart to only see the total returns - by switching to Bar & Total:

You can also save the chart for later

Hmm, I think this broke yesterday or the day before (19th or 20th of May). The values lined up with Morningstar calculation, and now they're humongously wrong. Like -55% one month, +44% the next one.

You can switch to compare chart to see which asset (or account) is causing this

It is showing the expected values when showing, well, asset values graphs. I'm confused. But the percentages are off.
