Joe-
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I looked through the SPP manual,
but obviously not hard enough. In the reading I've done on this
issue, I wonder if it's as much what the .dll offers as what QP3
allows to be taken. If I understand it correctly, we might have to
lobby QP3 to make the fields we need available.
On the EPS and Sales arrays, I'm not much of a programmer, but I
wonder if there's a way to run a For..Do loop that runs through the
array and finds where it changes, pick that date, calculate how many
days since then, and plugs that number into the Ref() function?

continuous EPS growth for the past 3 years. The year is based on a
trailing twelve month (TTM) basis. The yearly difference between
the most recent EPS quarter and the same quarter a year ago is
computed. This backwards computation is done to arrive at 4 yearly
EPS values. If the difference for most recent yearly EPS value is
greater than the previous year (not equal) we add one to the count.
This type of backwards comparison goes on until one of two events
occur:
