I cannot find an answer to my query so I'll post it here! Please assist :)

How I do I export company financial fundamentals as a CSV from Bullcharts?

i.e. a csv file of all fundamentals for 5 - 10 years.

Thank you ahead of time,

Hi RainMakerFaker,

You can't export a file of all fundamental data for 5-10 years because the fundamental data for 5-10 years isn't stored. Bullcharts only stores the latest fundamental file not a historical database of that fundamental data.

About 5 years ago I gave it a go using an outside database that I had compiled and merged it into Bullcharts but the problem I found was these historical fundamental databases don't take into account such things as share splits, rights issues etc whereas you had the Bullcharts price data adjusting for these factors and what I found was that you had to run a completely separate database of unadjusted price data.

If you are using Bullcharts as your data source the data is stored in a sql database and microsoft sql isn't all that hard to learn or you could hire someone through somewhere like elance.com if you want to open up the database for a look.

Hi all,
Just thought I should add two bits of detail here.

For those who don't know a lot about the BullScan tool, there are about 19 fundamental data items stored for each stock. As davidr says above, these are latest values available (no fundamental history is stored). It is easy to create a scan to select all of these fundamental items, and "Show" them in the Scan Results Table. The results table can then be exported as CSV for import elsewhere.

And, I must mention, the BullCharts staff do guarantee the quality of the data that they provide and which ends up in your copy of the MS-SQL BullStore database. This is provided you don't modify the database structure, and don't manually import any old data. It is possible to import MetaStock format data, but you need to request the key from the BullCharts support staff.

Cheers
