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.

You cannot write Personal Criteria Formulas utilizing fundamentals. You would need to add those fundamentals to an EasyScan and adjust the EasyScan Conditions as desired.
