Please advise as to how I can create a scan for companies that have increasing quarterly revenues over the last 4 quarters.
Meaning each successive quarter's revenue was greater than the last over the previous 4 quarters.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums. A very good foundation for learning how to use TeleChart can be gained by reviewing the following:
If you are new to TeleChart READ THIS FIRST!
Fundamental Criteria in TeleChart are limited to the most recent value of the built in Fundamental System Criteria. The specific Criteria you wish to use are not available in the current version of TeleChart. The Earnings and Revenue Criteria that would seem to most closely relate to the the desired EasyScan would be:
Definitions of all built in scanning and sorting criteria
Using EasyScan to find stocks that meet your own criteria
Earnings ($Millions) 1-Yr - This is the sum of the trailing 4 quarters of net income (profit) as taken from the quarterly report. This is not the earnings per share. This value will also provide some insight into company size. It reads in millions of dollars.
Earnings as a percent of Sales 1-Yr - This is an indication of profit margin. Weak profit margins are often a sign of hidden vulnerability in a stock that appears to have high earnings. Be careful of companies that pay high dividends while having low profit margins. Within industries, the companies with the highest profit margins are usually the leaders. It is a sign of good management. This reads in percentage.
Earnings Growth Rate 5-Yr - The compound annual earnings per share 5-year growth rate. In looking for quality companies, well established companies of good size, this criterion is indispensable. The units are in percentages.
EPS Latest Qtr - Fully Diluted earnings per share from Total Operations, as taken from the latest 3-month ending period.
EPS Percent Change (Latest Q) - The percentage change in earnings per share from the comparable quarter a year before. Timely stocks will usually have strong recent quarterly earnings to validate the annual earnings strength. This reads in percentage.
EPS Percent Change (2nd Q back) - The percentage change in earnings per share from the comparable quarter a year before.
EPS Percent Change (3rd Q back) - The percentage change in earnings per share from the comparable quarter a year before.
EPS Percent Change (4th Q back) - The percentage change in earnings per share from the comparable quarter a year before.
EPS Percent Change (Latest Yr) - The percentage change in earnings for the latest 4 quarters compared to the preceding 4 quarters. An appropriate criterion to include in many types of screens. Also a common criterion to sort by, with the best earners on top.
Revenue Growth Rate Last 4 Qtrs - The difference between the latest fiscal year revenue and the previous fiscal year revenue, expressed as a percentage.
