No. In yearly is January-December. 12 * in monthly is ANY 12 month (not necesarily Jan-Dec).

TimeFrameSet(inMonthly); MnGain1 = ROC(C,1); QGain = ROC(C,3); YGain = ROC(C,12); TimeFrameRestore(); TimeFrameSet(inyearly); YGain1 = ROC(C,1); TimeFrameRestore(); YGain2 = TimeFrameExpand(YGain1,inMonthly); TimeFrameSet(inQuarterly); QGain2 = ROC(C,1); TimeFrameRestore(); QGain3 = TimeFrameExpand(QGain2,inMonthly); (Above copied as is from the Formula Editor window) In this code, YGain calculated with ROC(C,12) produces the correct answer while YGain1 produces a different and incorrect value. Monthly is set as the Periodicity in the AA window. Which is why I asked the question. The minor, minor bug is that "inYearly" and "inQuarterly" are not red as reserved words, even though they function correctly. One little color bit needs to be set somewhere in the guts of the program code. Ken
