The Friday report by Sir Geologist looks to be an interesting manner of selection so I thought that I would create the PCF's and try it out.

I created the A,B,C,D&E PCF's however there is a Syntax error and each formula requires "market days needed to calculate criteria"

I'm a newbie to all this, is there an easy way to add the market days needed so that the formulae can run?

Thanks

Post one of the PCFs giving you a Syntax error here so we can test it for you.

How to create a Personal Criteria Forumula (PCF)

Handy PCF example formulas to help you learn the syntax of PCFs!

TAB A etc is not part of the PCFs. Here are the ones to use.

Here is Tab A

(STOC8.3 > AVG(STOC8.3,3)) AND (STOC12.3 > AVG(STOC12.3,3)) AND
(STOC12.3 < 65) AND (STOC4.3 > AVG(STOC4.3,3)) AND (STOC2.1 >
AVG(STOC2.1,2))

TAB B is Tab A + this:

AND ((AVGC20.2 < AVGC20.1) AND (AVGC20.1 < AVGC20)) AND
(STOC30.4 > AVG(STOC30.4,5)) AND (TSV17 > AVG(TSV17,9))

so TAB B is:

(STOC8.3 > AVG(STOC8.3,3)) AND (STOC12.3 > AVG(STOC12.3,3)) AND
(STOC12.3 < 65) AND (STOC4.3 > AVG(STOC4.3,3)) AND (STOC2.1 >
AVG(STOC2.1,2))
AND ((AVGC20.2 < AVGC20.1) AND (AVGC20.1 < AVGC20)) AND
(STOC30.4 > AVG(STOC30.4,5)) AND (TSV17 > AVG(TSV17,9))

(note TAB A is bold)

False is OK.

It means it is false for the
test symbol.

Thanks

A Boolean PCF can either test TRUE or FALSE depending on the symbol.

FALSE is not an error message.

How do I get to the original "Daily Worden" report that Sir Geo posted back in 2007?  I want to understand his logic used.  I have found it a very good scanning system and want to better learn the logic in it.
