Dear Jose, In the past you had publish a Formula which i had moderate it a little, from my Side. This Formula is: { Date-cutoff - excludes inactive codes whose last active date was before 30/November/2005 } day:=30; { 1~31 Day of month cutoff } mth:=11; { 1~12 Month cutoff } y:=2005; { Year cutoff } { ***************************************** } { Date cutoff } cutoff:=Year()>y OR (Year()=y AND (Month()>mth OR Month()=mth AND DayOfMonth()>=day)); { Exploration filter } cutoff AND V>0 AND C > 7 This Formula i use it, when i want it to found the Stocks that traded it, in the most recent day. But Today i decide it to choose also to make the Exploration without nothing in the Filter of the Exploration. The Result was that only 45 Stocks was discard with this Method. With the above, yours Exploration, about 35% of the Stocks that i used to make the Exploration was discard. After all that i want to ask you to explain me the Thought of your Formula! Kind Regards, George Kanellopoulos.

Thanks, George S. I actually would like to discourage Private Messages unless they are related to custom work. Anyway, there is always something to learn from other's problems, so it's good to air them here. George K. - look at the price filter condition that you've introduced (AND C > 7), and you'll find your answer there. Unfortunately I'm not clever enough to prevent errors introduced somewhere between the keyboard and seat. ;) jose '-)

Ok... I'm hearing it... my own PM box is full! Still, the point is this: PLEASE don't start a thread addressed to an individual. However, don't be shy in saying thanks to an individual that may have helped with your original thread. It's a fine point of etiquette... and my job. Thanks for understanding.
