Consolidate and analyze a group of objects in a table.
1. Overview
The Table lets you bring together instruments, metrics, and other objects into a structured view with configurable columns. Each column evaluates a metric or expression for every row, giving you a spreadsheet-like comparison across many objects.
2. Getting Started
Open Table from the Start Menu.
In the row code editor at the bottom of the window, type an expression and press Enter to add rows.
Add columns from the ribbon to display metrics for each row.
3. Adding Rows
Use the row code editor at the bottom of the frame to add items:
Single items: type AAPL, MSFT, or GOOG and press Enter.
Collections: type INDU.members() to add all members of the Dow Jones.
Expressions: use any HHLang expression that returns items or collections.
4. Row Modes
The ribbon lets you toggle between two modes:
Manual mode — you add rows one at a time via the code editor. Rows stay until you remove them.
Expression mode — rows are computed from an expression (e.g., index members). The table updates automatically if the result of the expression changes.
5. Columns
Add and remove columns from the Columns cluster in the ribbon.
Each column evaluates a metric or expression for each row.
Click column headers to sort.
Column values are computed automatically when rows are added or data changes.
6. Additional Views
The Additional Views cluster in the ribbon lets you add supplementary views that appear as split panes above the main table. Available views depend on installed plugins. Each view has a close button (X) to remove it.
7. Exporting
Copy to Clipboard — copy the table contents for pasting.
Export to Excel — save the table as an .xlsx file.
Page Setup — configure layout for printing.
8. Tips
Use Explorer to filter a universe of instruments, then export to Table for detailed metric analysis.
Expression mode keeps the table dynamic — if index membership changes, the table updates automatically.
Combine multiple metrics as columns to build comparison screens (e.g., P/E ratio, market cap, and daily return side by side).
