Screening & Excel Plug-in Quick Start

The Screening tool lets you screen our vast database with your exact criteria and can be helpful in generating investment ideas. The Excel Plug-in can expedite many forms of analysis and replace manual data entry. Create your own models, snag pre-built templates, discover built-in Excel screening, and more—all with one-click data refreshes from our database.


Screening

Think of screening as the simple way to conduct advanced searches in order to generate ideas. With thousands of criteria options, you can refine our vast universe of Companies, Equities, Transactions, Key Developments, Fixed Income Securities, People, Projects, or Portfolios into a subset that interests you. 

From the Screening tab, select the output you’re interested in identifying. In this example, we will select Companies.

The criteria you can select is organized in 4 columns. The columns are generally related to Company, Equity, People, and Transaction data.
