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

Parameter Table

Parameter Description Required Example
Symbol The ticker symbol of the asset (stocks, indices, options, crypto, etc.). Supports formats like "MSFT", "^SPX", "@MSFT...", "BTCUSD:DEFAULT". Yes "MSFT"
year The year (e.g., "2022") or relative indicators ("ly", "ly-1", "lq", etc.) for last year, last quarter, etc. Yes "2022" or "lq"
quarter The calendar quarter (1, 2, 3, 4) or blank. No 2
TTM The phrase "TTM" to return trailing twelve months data, or leave blank for periodic values. No "TTM"

Return Value

  • Returns a numeric value representing the restructuring/M&A income for the specified period.
  • If the symbol is invalid or data is unavailable, the function returns NA.

?? Note: Ensure you have a valid MarketXLS license that includes historical fundamentals; otherwise, the formula may return "NA".

Examples and Usage

Below are straightforward examples demonstrating various ways to call this formula:

  1. Retrieve yearly data for a stock:
    =hf_Income_Restructuring_and_MandA("MSFT", 2022)
  2. Retrieve data for a specific quarter:
    =hf_Income_Restructuring_and_MandA("MSFT", 2022, 3)
  3. Retrieve trailing twelve months (TTM) data:
    =hf_Income_Restructuring_and_MandA("MSFT", 2022, 3, "TTM")
  4. Use relative dates for quick lookups:
    =hf_Income_Restructuring_and_MandA("MSFT", "lq")
    =hf_Income_Restructuring_and_MandA("MSFT", "ly-1")
  5. Reference a date within a cell or via functions (if you store years in cells or dynamically determine them). For instance, if A1 has 2023:
    =hf_Income_Restructuring_and_MandA("MSFT", A1)

? Pro Tip: Combine multiple MarketXLS functions (e.g., Revenue, Gross Profit, or R & D Expenses) to get a more holistic overview of corporate financial health.

Common Questions

  1. What if I get "NA" as a result?
    • Verify that your MarketXLS license supports historical fundamental data.
    • Double-check the symbol format and year/quarter values.
    • If the data is not published or not available for a certain period, "NA" may appear.

  2. Is there a performance impact of frequent calls?
    • Repeatedly calling multiple hf_... formulas in a large spreadsheet can increase recalculation time. If performance slows, consider retrieving data in batches or using MarketXLS caching features.

  3. Can I use this function with indices, crypto, or options?
    • Yes. Just ensure you provide the correct symbol format (e.g., "^SPX" for the S&P 500 index, "BTCUSD:DEFAULT" for Bitcoin). If the data is unavailable for that symbol, you may see "NA."

  4. How do I combine TTM data with other metrics?
    • You can place TTM results in a column, then compare them side by side with other fundamentals (like net income, EPS, etc.) for deeper analysis.

  5. Why does the formula sometimes return a text value?
    • If the underlying data is non-numeric (e.g., an error message), the function may pass that text straight back to Excel. In most cases, numeric results are returned.
