I am interested in how fast a companies free cash flow, revenue and dividends are growing over time.
Can I get this info from Telechart or is it only available in Snapsheets?
If in telechart - what variables would I use to set/up scan PCF?
Thanks

The same Fundamental Criteria are available in Blocks Player with a Hemscott Criteria Databank Subscription, Worden Studio and TeleChart.
Blocks Player requires a Hemscott Criteria Databank subscription to plot Historic Fundamental Data.
Sorting by a Fundamental Criteria in the Stocks component of Worden Studio will plot that Fundamental Criteria without a Hemscott Criteria Databank subscription.
TeleChart cannot plot Fundamental Data and doesn't have access to Historic Fundamental Data.
It is possible to create your own Fundamental Indicators in Blocks Player based on the data available in the Hemscott Criteria Databank subscription. It is possible to scan this Historic Fundamental Data using BackScanner in Blocks Player.
The following built in Fundamental System Criteria and descriptions contain references to cash flow, revenue or dividends:
Asset Turnover - Equals revenue divided by the average of total assets from the most recent two balance sheets. It measures the ratio at which each dollar of assets will generate a dollar of revenues.
Dividend Growth Rate 5-Yr - This is the compound (shows accrued interest/dividend re-invested) annual dividend 5 year growth rate. The units are in percentages.
Dividend Yield - This is the latest dividend divided by the share price. It reads in percentage.
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.
Latest Net Profit Margin - The after-tax Net Income from Total Operations of the latest 4 quarters, divided by the latest 4 quarters Operating Revenues.
Operating Cash Flow 1-Yr - The sum of net profit, depreciation, change in accruals, and change in accounts payable, minus change in accounts receivable, minus change in inventories.
Percent Change Revenue 1-Yr - The difference between the revenue from the latest 12 months and the previous 12 months expressed as a percentage.
Percent Change Revenue Last Qtr - The difference between the latest quarter revenue and the revenue for the same quarter one year ago, expressed as a percentage.
Price to Sales Ratio - Determined by dividing current stock price by revenue per share (adjusted for stock splits). Revenue per share for the P/S ratio is determined by dividing revenue for past 12 months by number of shares outstanding.
Sales ($Millions) 1-Yr - This is the sum of revenues for the last 4 quarterly reports. This is an excellent gauge of company size.
Revenue Growth Rate Last 4 Qtrs - The difference between the latest fiscal year revenue and the previous fiscal year revenue, expressed as a percentage.
Sales Growth Rate 5-Yr - This is the compound annual revenue per share growth over the last 5 years. This is an indication of growing market share (especially in issues with over 15.93% since the average compound inflation rate for five years in the USA is 15.93%). Never forget, it takes revenue to produce earnings.
