Missing info on 1099B

The 1099-B from my broker does not have the Cost Basis listed, I guess because the account went through several different brokerage firms.  I have all of the statements and can calculate the cost.  As I entered the 1099B information I checked the box stating that the Cost Basis is missing then entered the calculated amount 2 screens later, but TT keeps flagging the missing information as an error.  I have sold some of this stock several years ago using the calculated basis and had no problems.   How do I clear the error?
