I've created a database to add a single field (Earning Date) for 1000 stocks - in a year, this database will have only 4 entries (the 4 earning dates).
Would like to use this database to report the Price before and on Earning day and the Earning day return in a screener.

1) How do i use ASCII Import (or any other mechanism) to upload this field for 1000 stocks? The Importer expects 1 file for each symbol.

(Note, I tried using Earnings_cal database and the Historical Earnings Downloader but they have 2 issues -
a) they don't report every earning date for these 1000 stocks
b) The Time field is not standard (e.g. 3:47am EST, Before Market Open, 12 noon, After Market Close, 12:01pm EST), and difficult to parse in a regex string.
earnings_var = GetDataString('earnings_cal', 'etime', 'regex string pattern');

2) If there is no solution to (1), please advise a regex pattern with which i can get (b) above working.

thanks
Kiran

You can use the ASCII Import with a single file. In the parser settings, simply add "Quotes -> Symbol" to specify the column that contains the symbol data. Please read our documentation for more info about how to use the ASCII Import tool.

Thanks, that worked.
Another challenge is the screener only reports 1 date at a time. Is there a way to report multiple dates (e.g. July1-Oct30), so i can report all earning-day price action during that period in a single report?

If not Screener, is there another tool in Quantshare that could do this (not sure if Pivot Tables could support something like this)?

Not with the screener. Try "Tools -> Databases Data".

    Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
