What is the difference between Dividend Yield (Trailing) and Dividend Cash Amount?
If I add the following individually to an an easy scan, the results are quite different:
Dividend Yield (Trailing) > 0
Dividen Cash Amount > 0
Also, is there a PCF for:
PE Ratio (Trailing) > 0
Latest Float < 25 million
Dividend Yield (Trailing) > 0
Dividen Cash Amount > 0
Thank you!

Dividend Yield (Trailing) - A financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment for a stock. Dividend yield is calculated as follows: Annual Dividends Per Share/Price Per Share.
Dividend Cash Amount - A cash dividend is money paid to stockholders, normally out of the corporation's current earnings or accumulated profits. Not all companies pay a dividend. Usually, the board of directors determines if a dividend is desirable for their particular company based upon various financial and economic factors. Dividends are commonly paid in the form of cash distributions to the shareholders on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis. All dividends are taxable as income to the recipients. Dividends are usually paid on a per share basis.
Dividend Yield is over the entire year while the Dividend Cash Amount only returns the most recent dividend.
