Format 2

This is a common spreadsheet format for storing share trades. It consists of the 6 fields shown below;

Date | Buy/Sell | Company | Shares | Price | Total

The "Total" field stores either the net proceeds on a sell or the total cost on a buy. This value is negative for a buy and almost always positive for a sell. Valid values for the Buy/Sell field are B, S , Buy and Sell and case is not important.

Example
01/12/02 buy BARC 3000 4.8225 -14554.84
02/12/02 sell BARC 3000 4.91 14715.00

The result in correct format

S 02/12/2000 BARC 3000 4.91 15.00 0.00
