• Compare historical trends and perform deeper financial analyses.

Key Benefits

• Seamlessly integrates with Excel-based workflows, saving time and effort.
• Delivers accurate and up-to-date data drawn directly from MarketXLS databases.

When to Use

Use this formula whenever you need to:

• Track historical EPS performance that includes other gains or losses.
• Model or forecast future EPS behavior based on past trends.
• Quickly reference a company’s diluted EPS data in Excel without leaving your spreadsheet.

Syntax and Parameters

Syntax

=hf_Diluted_EPS_from_Other_Gains_Losses(Symbol, year, [quarter], [TTM])

Parameter Table

Return Value

• Returns a numeric value representing Diluted EPS from other gains or losses for the specified period.
• If the function cannot retrieve a valid value (e.g., invalid symbol, license issue, or data unavailable), it returns "NA".

?? Note: Calling this function repeatedly across many cells can impact performance, as each call retrieves data from the MarketXLS API.

Examples and Usage

Basic Examples

• Retrieve Diluted EPS from other gains/losses for Microsoft in 2023, defaulting to quarter 1:

  =hf_Diluted_EPS_from_Other_Gains_Losses("MSFT", "2023")

• Get data for quarter 2 of 2022 directly:

  =hf_Diluted_EPS_from_Other_Gains_Losses("MSFT", "2022", "2")

• Use cell references for flexibility (e.g., cell A1 contains "MSFT" and B1 contains "2023"):

  =hf_Diluted_EPS_from_Other_Gains_Losses(A1, B1)

Advanced Scenarios

• Trailing twelve months (TTM) data for quarter 3 of 2024:

  =hf_Diluted_EPS_from_Other_Gains_Losses("MSFT", "2024", "3", "TTM")

• Retrieve data for last quarter automatically:

  =hf_Diluted_EPS_from_Other_Gains_Losses("MSFT", "lq")

• Shorthand for “last quarter minus one”:

  =hf_Diluted_EPS_from_Other_Gains_Losses("MSFT", "lq-1")

? Pro Tip: You can also reference dates directly: • =hf_Diluted_EPS_from_Other_Gains_Losses("MSFT", TEXT(A1,"yyyy"))
Use Excel date functions to dynamically generate the year parameter.

Real-World Applications

• Combine with other MarketXLS historical functions (e.g., Revenue (Historical), Gross Profit (Historical)) in your Excel models for a comprehensive financial snapshot.
• Automate quarterly reporting by referencing a cell that updates year/quarter automatically.
