Guys,

I want to filter by multiple sectors like 'sector is financial or sector is utilities'. SF only returns matches in one sector.

Any suggestions for filtering on multiple sectors?

Thanks,
Steve

Sectors can be sorted by their assigned number ... ie:

1 - Consumer Non-Cyclical
2 - Financial
3 - Basic Materials
4 - Healthcare
5 - Energy
6 - Technology
7 - Services
8 - Transportation
9 - Capital Goods
10 - Utilities
11 - Consumer Cyclical

What you need to use is a tool set that TRO created....you will need to use TRO's BOOLEAN LOGIC for StockFetcher.... this will give you the boolean OR
......search for BOOLEAN LOGIC.

..... post what you come up with !

...you got me curious ....I decided to get this to work ... So thanks to the RumpledOne work, giving us his tool set here it is:

Fetcher[
/* OR Implementation */
/* by definition OR is TRUE IF A is TRUE, B is TRUE, or A AND B is TRUE*/
/* THEREFORE by counting and adding, if the sum is greater than 0 the OR condition is TRUE. */
/* Copyright 2003 by Avery T. Horton, Jr. */
/* Permission to use OR Implementation withing StockFetcher Granted */
/* Permission to publish or post on any other forum DENIED */
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------*/
set{A, count(sector is equal to 2, 1)}
set{B, count(sector is equal to 10, 1)}
set{OR1, A + B}
show stocks where OR1 above 0
add column sector
]



...or to sort for three sectors Energy, Financial and Utilities:
(sectors 2, 5 and 10)

Fetcher[
set{A, count(sector is equal to 2, 1)}
set{B, count(sector is equal to 10, 1)}
set{C, count(sector is equal to 5, 1)}
set{OR1, A + B}
set{OR2,OR1 + C}
show stocks where OR2 above 0
add column sector
]



Fare Well !!
