How to Determine the Number of NAs for a Ticker Relative to the Current Ranking System

When you run the “Ranks” option for a Ranking System on a particular day, one of the columns that gets displayed is the # of N/As. Is there any way to access this datapoint from a Buy Rule or in the Screener?

Cheers,

A feature request for that functionality was made awhile ago and it fell into the request blackhole; https://www.portfolio123.com/mvnforum/viewthread_thread,11408#!#65481

Thanks Walter.

This seems like it should be very easy to implement as the function must already exist in order to populate the “Ranks” table for a Ranking System.

The #NA’s displayed in the ranking system tool is not available elsewhere. This is because ranks are cached and re-used for performance, therefore the values of the factors that make up the ranks are no longer accessible.

It’s doable of course. Making them available for backtests as well as rebalances or screening makes it harder somewhat. Either way not trivial but not too hard either.

Another option is just adding a function like NA_Count( form1 , form2 , form3 , form4 ) . This is very easy to add.

I created a card for this feature in our Roadmap here

Thank You for you feedback

Thanks Marco!
