Uploading data from a spreadsheet is a great option for adding a large number of symbols to a ChartList.
You can use Excel or any program that can create CSV files. If you already have a spreadsheet created, skip to the next step.
First, go to the “Your ChartLists” section of Your Dashboard, then select “Edit List” from the “View As” dropdown menu next to your desired ChartList.
Click the green “Add Symbols” button at the top of the page and choose the “Upload CSV” tab. Click the “Browse” button and select your CSV file from your computer. Then, click the green “Upload” button.
Once the CSV file has been uploaded, it will show the symbols, descriptions and comments to be added. Click “OK” to add those symbols to your ChartList.
Note: If there are any symbols in your CSV file that are not in our database, you will not be able to upload the file. In that case, open the file and remove those symbols, then try uploading again.
