It is still not fixed after several years. msn.com has a great chart if you need it to go back before 2000.

This is not "soon" anymore...
Someone just has to fix a few data points -- how hard is that? -

How long does it take to replace decimal points in two numbers? Well, 5 months and counting...

About Dow Jones Industrial I think little bit finished all I want to review all the past,present and past present tense to all issue even I finished that I try to back where I got the solution because every try can add knowledge.

The error is in the DJIA and it makes any DJIA graph which includes April 11, 2000 unreadable.

Specifically, the "interactive charts" value for the DJI for April 11,2000 was mis-typed as 1110248.00. From the preceding and following values, it is obvious that the decimal point was omitted, and the value should be 11102.48! Surely this is a simple fix!

This seems easy to correct. Why has it not been remedied?

No you didn't fix the problem. The data is correct but the scale defaults to amounts that make the chart un-viewable. This still needs to be addressed.

Your data for the Dow Jones chart April 11 2000 is totally incorrect by a factor of about 10, for both volume and value($) please correct

This is probably why it's been impossible to get a rational plot for "max" on the DJI for a year or more. Before that, it tracked all the way back to the 1920s. Now it flatlines because it's flattening all the data out to fit under a 25,000% y-axis. One or more bad data points would throw it into this display, but it's amazing that nobody has complained or fixed it in 12+ months that I know it's been broken.

The May 12,1955 value should (probably) be 4,393.55 or thereabouts.

OOPS ... I found another: on Apr 11, 2000 the quote of 1110248.00 should probably be 11102.48.
