Made changes to several PCFs. Then updated the data feed for the day. The PCFs didn't calculate. What did I miss doing?? Thanks...

Here are the possibilities I can think of off the top of my head that would cause altered Personal Criteria Formulas to not update when updating your data:

- Update Personal Criteria following download was not checked.
- Include criteria which require more than 250 days of data (slower) was not checked and the PCFs required more than 250 days of data.
- You already had the most recent delayed data before changing your PCFs. If the data isn't newer, updating your data will not force your PCFs to update.
- The altered PCFs generated errors during the update (could be syntax errors or computational errors such as overflows or division by zero).

In any case, the next step would be to update your PCFs manually by selecting Databank | Personal Criteria Formulas | Update All Criteria. You will want to verify that you are updating for All Items in System and that Include criteria which require more than 250 days of data (slower) are checked. You may wish to review the following:

How to create a Personal Criteria Forumula (PCF)

If this does not work, you may wish to try deleting the PCFs that do not update and re-creating them from scratch. Test each PCF as you create it (watching for any error messages). Then try another manual update (again, watching for any error messages).

Thanks Bruce, I had updated the data last night and updated again after making the changes - your program was too smart and knew that... Appreciate the help..
