Add a Quote

Click on the Quote icon in the Barchart for Excel ribbon and the Insert Quotes dialogue will display as shown below.

Here you can search for symbols by type and source in the left panel or via the exchange and instrument type drop downs to the right.

If you already know the ticker or symbol name, you can type into the search box and a list of suggested symbols will automatically display.

You can remove any previously typed search text by clicking on the ‘x' or the '<-' icons in the search box or by simply highlighting and deleting.

Once the desired symbol(s) are displayed you can double click or click and drag the symbol to the insert pane to the right of the search pane.

By holding down the Shift key and using the arrow keys or mouse, you can select multiple symbols at one time. You can also hold Ctrl + A to select all symbols displayed in the search.

To view multiple futures expirations at one time, enter in the contract’s root symbol followed by *.

To quickly add multiple futures contracts at once time, enter in the root followed by the pound sign '#' or #n for the number of contracts you want to add.

For multi-symbol entry, place a comma (without space) between each symbol. Once all symbols are entered, click on the symbol grouping (enclosed with brackets) or hit enter when the grouping is highlighted.

Once you have selected all of the desired instruments and moved them to the pane on the right, you should have a window that looks like below.

Select your Fields

Next, you will want to select the fields (data columns) you wish to display in your spreadsheet.

By clicking on the down arrow next to each field category, all of the fields specific to that category will display.

Check the box next to the field to add the field to your view. If you wish to add all fields in the category, check the box next to the category name. Uncheck any or all boxes to remove from the view.

If you wish to display all fields in all categories, click on the All ▼ button located in the upper right corner of the Fields drop down. Click the All ▲ to minimize all categories.

When you use the search field, use text to describe what data you want to add. For example, to find Moving Averages fields, start typing "mov" and possible matches will display.

To add a field from the results list, drag or check the field. The field is added to the bottom of the selected fields, where you can drag and drop it to a new position, if desired.

If you would like to add all the fields within a category, check the box next to the category’s name. A black checkmark will display and all fields in that grouping will be added to the Selected Columns section of the dialogue.

To remove all fields added to the Selected Columns, simply click the clear button located directly below custom views.

Any Custom Views created on Barchart.com and save in your My Barchart account can be applied to a Quote query by clicking on the 'Custom Views' button.

Once a view is selected the view’s name will display in Quote dialogue and editing an existing Quote query.

You can reposition the fields by dragging and dropping them to their desired position on the Insert Quotes dialog. Once the necessary fields are selected, click insert and all symbols and their corresponding fields will display like below.
