Do not seem to find a provider for this data.

Can I upload an excel doc from fidelity with the data to show on the chart?

You could, but it would be a lot easier if you exported the data to a delimited text file. Then it would be a simple matter. Didn't I help you with a dividend script some time ago?

Thanks a lot Eugene and Cone for your outstanding customer service and product knowledge. Yes Cone, this is Jean Luc you did help me and I thank you again for it. Your product is truly amazing once you get to learn how to use it and I am sure I have not scratched the surface yet with so many features. You are surely a team of SUPER SMART guys.

Jean Luc! Upcoming dividends. Now I remember :)
If you have that list in a txt format, just attach it to a post and I can whip up a routine to read it and how to use it in a script.

You asked, "Can I upload an excel doc from fidelity with the data to show on the chart?".

This made me assume you have the data you want to show on the chart in an excel doc. If that's not the case, then I don't have any more ideas for you than what we had discussed in the ticket.
