15 funds does not sound so bad. You would have at most 30 inputs (deposits and balance in each) plus the dates for quarter.

Those inputs should provide the portfolio balance for the other post I made if summed correctly.

Those inputs could also provide total dollar value of each fund. That info could then be input to morningstar for an xray. If you have an account with T Rowe Price, they can track all this for free. You just need to input into their web site the funds and account info so T Rowe can extract info from those accounts.

If you are taking the time to do a quarterly analysis, I would spend the time inputting the numbers because when inputting you will do a visual comparison of balances for that fund over last quater and previous year. That would be reason for doing analysis at a high level (correct?)- to see how you were performing- so the input should not be the problem which drives the software solution.
