Syntax and Parameters

Below is the basic syntax for the hf_Revenue_per_Dollar_Plant_Net function:

=hf_Revenue_per_Dollar_Plant_Net(Symbol, Year, [Quarter], [TTM])

Return Value

• Numeric value: The function returns a numeric value indicating revenue generated per dollar of the net plant.
• "NA": Returned if the input is invalid, data is not available, or if your MarketXLS license does not cover this function.

?? Note: An active MarketXLS subscription is required for this function to work. If your subscription level does not include historical fundamentals data, you may see "NA".

Examples and Usage

Below are some practical examples using different input types, symbol formats, and date references.

1. Retrieve value by specifying symbol and year only:

   =hf_Revenue_per_Dollar_Plant_Net("MSFT", 2022)

   Returns the metric for Microsoft in the year 2022.

2. Include a specific quarter:

   =hf_Revenue_per_Dollar_Plant_Net("MSFT", 2022, 2)

   Returns the metric for Microsoft in the second quarter of 2022.

3. Use trailing twelve months (TTM) data:

   =hf_Revenue_per_Dollar_Plant_Net("MSFT", 2022, 3, "TTM")

   Returns the metric for Microsoft as of the third quarter of 2022 for the trailing twelve months.

4. Reference last quarter (lq) or last quarter - 1 (lq-1):

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

   Compares Microsoft’s latest quarter vs. the quarter before that.

5. Retrieve data using cell references for date inputs:

   • If A1 contains "2024-03-15":

     =hf_Revenue_per_Dollar_Plant_Net(A1)

   • Direct date as text:

     =hf_Revenue_per_Dollar_Plant_Net("2024-03-15")

   • Using Excel date functions:

     =hf_Revenue_per_Dollar_Plant_Net(TEXT(A1, "yyyy-mm-dd"))

? Pro Tip: Combine this function with other historical fundamental formulas (e.g., historical revenue, cost of revenue) to establish a comprehensive view of a company’s financial performance.

Common Questions

1. What if the function returns "NA"?

   • The symbol or date range may be incorrect.
   • Your MarketXLS subscription level might not include historical data.
   • Data might not be available for the specified period.

2. How often is the data updated?

   • MarketXLS refreshes data from various sources at different intervals. Contact MarketXLS support or check documentation for exact update schedules.

3. Does this function affect workbook performance?

   • MarketXLS uses caching and efficient API calls to reduce delays. However, calling many MarketXLS functions simultaneously can slow performance. Consider batching requests if you handle a large dataset.

4. Can I compare multiple symbols at once?

   • Yes, simply replicate this function across rows or columns for different symbols. This is a great way to compare multiple companies side by side.

?? Note: For some extended historical periods, MarketXLS may pull data from legacy databases, which could slightly impact performance. Results remain consistent across all data sources.
