How to use sieve Excel Add-in

You can use sieve in Excel to extract data from PDF files or SEC filings, and to search for earnings dates.

Update the parameters of the code SIEVE.GET_DATA(ticker_or_url, data_point, [time_period], [ai_only]) to extract data from different sources:

Extract data from PDF

  • ticker_or_url: URL of the PDF file
  • data_point: short description of the data point you want to extract (e.g., revenue in most recent period in USD)
  • time_period: optionally specify the time period of the data point you want to extract (e.g., "FY2024", "Q1 2024")
  • ai_only: optionally specify whether to use AI-only mode by setting to TRUE to bypass human review (default is FALSE)

Extract data from SEC filings

  • ticker_or_url: ticker of the company (e.g., "AAPL")
  • data_point: short description of the data point you want to extract (e.g., revenue in most recent period in USD)
  • time_period: optionally specify the type of filing to pull. Must be "10-K", "10-Q", or "8-K"
  • ai_only: optionally specify whether to use AI-only mode by setting to TRUE to bypass human review (default is FALSE)

Find upcoming earnings date

  • ticker_or_url: ticker of the company (e.g., "AAPL")
  • data_point: must be "earnings date"
  • time_period: optionally specify the time period of the earnings date to pull (e.g., "2025", "Q1 2026"). Default is to pull the upcoming earnings date.
  • ai_only: optionally specify whether to use AI-only mode by setting to TRUE to bypass human review (default is FALSE)
