Advanced Scenarios

• Combining with Other MarketXLS Functions:

• For example, use =EarningsEstimates_targetPriceHistory_lowTargetPriceEstimate_weeks2Ago("TSLA") alongside a current target price function (e.g., a hypothetical =CurrentTargetPrice("TSLA")) to track changes in analyst sentiment over two weeks.

• Multi-Symbol Analysis:

• Create a small portfolio sheet listing multiple symbols in rows (like AAPL, MSFT, TSLA, AMZN). Apply this function in adjacent cells for each symbol to compare how their low target prices from two weeks ago differ.

• Trading Strategy Integration:

• Embed this function into a broader Excel-based trading model. Compare 2-week-old target prices to current prices, or create conditional format rules to highlight large discrepancies.

Common Questions and Troubleshooting

• What if the function returns "NA"?

• This may occur if the symbol is invalid, the data is not currently available, or your MarketXLS license isn’t active. Double-check your symbol spelling and license.

• Why do I sometimes see "Refreshing"?

• It means the data is being updated or refreshed in the background. Wait a few moments, then try again, or check back later.

• Are there any edge cases or special considerations?

• While most well-known US-listed symbols are supported, less common, delisted, or newly listed tickers may not have data for historical low target prices. In these scenarios, the function might return "NA."

By leveraging the EarningsEstimates_targetPriceHistory_lowTargetPriceEstimate_weeks2Ago function in MarketXLS, you can monitor how analysts’ low target price estimates have changed over time. Combine it with other MarketXLS data-building blocks to form a robust and dynamic trading or investment strategy—all within Excel.
