I think from the Yahoo data or most data sources you can only get data for a point in time.
The easiest way to get historical data that you could use as a filter or post is through the AAII (american associate of Indiv Investors). For $200 or so a year (I don't recall the exact amount) they offer you data from REuters in a download or cd rom format that has data for about 8000 stocks. It has a ton of fundemental data. It is easy to build filters (I have done it) and then export lists. You could say, show me all stocks where institutional ownership has gone up by x% from the last quarter then export just this list. You can also customize the columns so you could have the last 8 quarters (that is as far back as it goes) showing you the % of institutional ownership each quarter then export this and using the file reading functions in amibroker you could plot that in some manner.
