Hi Gilbert,
Maybe the file is saving properly, but when you open
the chart, is displaying less data.
Try increasing the no of periods to display in
file -> open -> options -> load options.
Regards,
Hormuz

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] EXCEL
CONVERT/METASTOCK CHART DISPLAY
PROBLEM
I wish to display a high, low, close, volume stock
price chart using
Excel data. When I convert an Excel file to a
Metastock stock chart
not all of the chart is displayed. The portion of
the chart
corresponding to several months data is missing. I
would appreciate
assistance in identifying the problem. The details
of what I am
doing is as follows:
I have an Excel file with the following column
headings: DATE,
HIGH,LOW, CLOSE, VOLUME
The file contains dates ranging from 2/4/1966 to
12/16/1968. The
file was saved using Microsoft Excel in the format
97-2000 & 5.0
Workbook *.xls.
To convert the data to a Metastock chart I used
Metastock
Professional 9.0. Using the downloader I went to
tools, convert and
entered File type Excel. Under options/Source I put
the First date
as 2/4/1966 and the Last date as 12/16/1968. The
periodicity was set
at Daily. In the Destination tab I ticked "Replace
existing file"
and "Create new files". Upon completion I got the
message that the
Data was Converted and Stored. All 697 entries were
added and none
were discarded.
However, when I opened the converted file with
Metastock the chart
was displayed from the date 11/15/1966 to 12/16/1968
instead of from
2/4/1966 to 12/16/1968.
It appears as though the program will only display a
certain maximum
number of entries. Could somebody please let me
know what I am doing
wrong.
Gilbert
