Ciao a tutti, I was going to create a formula which divides a daily data (index daily values) by a monthly data (earnings). Obviously, MS doesn't allow me to do so, 'cause data periodicity is not the same for the two data items. Is there anyone who engineered some solution to this task, other than converting monthly values on a daily basis with the help of a spreedsheet (rather noisy task, in any case)?

This should let you do that: http://www.metastockcsv.com/. You can keep earnings data in a *.CSV file, using Excel, and use MetaStockCSV to read it directly in an Indicator formula.

You can also create a new security with daily resolution containing your data, then call this using the Security() function, or a more abstract way, use the "spare" data item in the MS data format i.e. OI to store your earnings data with the price and volume data.

Export the monthly data to something like Excel, then create a complete list of daily dates and use the lookup functions in Excel to insert the monthly values to the respective position for each date, save as required and use the Downloader to convert the file to MS format.
