I managed to import historical prices for a particular security.
Quicken said "30 items imported". I can see the correct value of the
security but when I try and view the graph of prices, no graph line is
displayed although other securities show the graphs of past prices.
Any views please?

To see what prices actually got imported for that security, select the
security in the Security Detail View and click Update > Edit Price
History.

If there was something wrong with the dates in the .csv file, Quicken may
have imported all the prices for "today" [or "Date (if not specified):" in
the Import Price Data dialog.]
