The series function is simple, powerful and flexible. The function string is comprised of required elements as well as optional elements.
Required elements
=ICESeries(<Array of Symbols>,<Array of Fields>,Granularity (Daily if omitted),Start Date, End date, Index)
The array of symbols, or fields must be a range in Excel, e.g. A1:A20
Granularity can be set as follows:
Granularity |
|
| "S" | Second Granularity |
| "I1" | 1 Minute Granularity |
| "I60" | 1 Hour Granularity |
| "D" | Daily Granularity |
| "W" | Weekly Granularity |
| "WA" | Weekly Average of Daily values aggregation |
| "M" | Monthly Granularity |
| "MA" | Monthly Average of Daily values aggregation |
Date ranges and index work as follows:
