No, you need to put historical prices in your price database.

Report pricing is and has always been either price database (nearest in time, 
nearest in time before, latest) or transaction-based (average cost, weighted 
average cost). Transaction have written a price into the database since 
sometime around the v2.6. release. That’s probably what you’re thinking of. 

I think the only way to delete prices from the price database is to use the 
RemoveOlld button in the Price Database window. That opens another dialog that 
provides pretty fine-grained control over what prices to remove, so it would be 
hard to do it inadvertently. Might you have done that?
