If you use fundamentals in your strategies, this may be of interest. It's a short script to show the fundamental items for a symbol. It shows the count of data points for each fundamental and the date and value of the latest.

Meant to be run in Single Symbol Backtest (SSB) mode (or comment the "ClearDebug")

Thanks for sharing.

A note to the users: GetFundamentalNames in the script requires installed Community Components library.

Thanks for sharing too.

And fName.ToString() can be written as fName by itself since it's already a string. There are two instances of that.

I'm attempted to display it in HTML tabular form and post it to the CommentaryWindow() instead of using PrintDebug(). :-)

2. You copied my mistake-"Bars.Date[1].ToShortDateString()" should be [0]. (I write in VBA, too)

Update to my question in 1. I'm using...

My self-taught C# doesn't know the fine points. I'm learning.

This right justifies the numbers. If you're placing an i++ statement by itself, then change i++ to i inside the the String.Format() call. The example below does not use an i++ statement by itself.
