Pick the industry group you want to analyze or collect data from Pick the market that you want to analyze 33
Pick the data you want in your dataset Warning: This is not the friendliest interface in the world. You will often find yourself building elaborate criteria for 20 minutes and then losing them all because you hit the menu button twice instead of once. I would suggest saving the criteria under Save Set as you go along and assigning the criteria set a name. I would also suggest adding the company name to your data set - the default is only the ticker symbols, which are tough to expand, and keeping your data sets manageable with 3-4 variables. 34
