The data from 10-K, 10-Q and other SEC filings include not only face financial statements such as Income Statement or Balance Sheet but also all the data from Disclosures to Financial Statements. Using iXBRLAnalyst, you can search and use in your financial analysis in Excel any line item from any of the financial reports submitted to SEC by public companies in XBRL format. In addition, you get access to the trading data from the US Stock Exchanges.

All the data is easily accessible in iXBRLAnalyst Add-in with the new built-in functions and the TaskPanes providing powerful formula builders.
