data in docs missing

Going through the Guides, I see references to things like ShsOutAvgTTM and ShsOutAvgPTM but I cannot find them in the reference. Where can I find these and any others missing from the reference guide?

Thanks
Tony

I’m afraid we haven’t completely updated the guides to remove factors that have been deprecated or replaced. We’re also in the process of updating the Factor Reference, which is always my first stop.

Is there a replacement for ShsOutAvgTTM? I am using it in an RS and it works great, unless I try to use the text feature, in which case it balks because its “depreciated”.

Technically, ShsOutAvgTTM is IsNA(SharesFDTTM, IsNA(SharesTTM, SharesBasicTTM)), with a fallback to annual if all TTM values are NA.

Ok thanks Yuval. So, why was it deprecated? Usually that happens when something superior replaces it. Seems like nothing replaced this one, and others like it.

There were too many different functions and formulas for shares. We decided to simplify things and urge people to use Shares and SharesFD for various time periods if they want the number of shares in the financial statements, and SharesCur() if they want the number of shares in the market. A lot of functions and formulas here were developed ad hoc and we’re trying to standardize and simplify.
