Columns can be added in two different ways. The first way is via the ‘Add Column’ button located next to the Actions Menu in the Table’s toolbar. Clicking this button displays a search box where you can type the name of a column. As you type, an auto-fill suggestion box will appear, matching both by column name and description, allowing you to select from a list of options. The new column will be added to the right of the Ticker column (numerical columns will appear to the right of any non-numerical columns). If the metric is already present in a different view, the result will provide a hyperlinked view name, allowing you to jump to that view instead of adding the column to the current one. A Browse button is also available next to the search box.
Clicking Browse will bring up a menu where you can navigate through metric folders to add new columns.
Typing “52” into the search box matches all metrics that have “52” in the name or description.
The second way to add columns is by right-clicking any column header and selecting ‘Change Columns’.
This displays the Table View window, where you can select specific metrics to add.
With a Premium Plus subscription, you can create custom columns by defining an associated custom metric. A custom metric is a unique formula that allows you to integrate your own financial calculations into Stock Rover as if they were built-in features. Custom metrics are powerful, as they can source current or historical data from any of the over 700 existing metrics in Stock Rover.
Please refer to our help section on Custom Metrics for more detail. To view the functions available for custom metric definitions, please refer to the Functions help section. For practical use cases, see our Examples page.
Columns can be removed in two ways. The first is to right-click any column and select ‘Remove Columns’.
The second option is to select ‘Change Columns’, which opens the Table View window where you can deselect metrics to remove them.
Columns can be rearranged in two ways. First, you can drag and drop columns directly in the table by clicking and holding a column header to move it. Second, you can use the ‘Change Columns’ option to access the Table View window.
The Table View window allows you to rearrange the column order by dragging and dropping items under the ‘Your Columns’ list.
Columns in Stock Rover vary in width based on their data. Because the number of columns and browser window size can change, you may encounter horizontal scrolling or wasted space. To address this, an automatic resize button is available in the Table toolbar to fit all columns into the current window.
The auto-resize function only applies to the current view. Note that this action cannot be undone, though you can still manually adjust column widths afterward.
Columns can be resized manually by dragging the edges of the column header.
Every metric has an associated definition. You can view this by right-clicking on a column and selecting ‘Explain’.
Once selected, an explanation window will display the metric’s details.
The Table can be sorted by any column in either ascending or descending order. Click a column header once to sort in ascending order (indicated by an upward arrow). Clicking again will reverse the sort to descending order (downward arrow).
Alternatively, you can right-click the column header and select either ‘Sort Ascending’ or ‘Sort Descending.’
Stock Rover supports multi-column sorting, which is useful for columns with many duplicate values (like Sector or Industry). Click the secondary sort column first (e.g., Market Cap), then click the primary sort column (e.g., Exchange). The table will group by the primary column and sort by the secondary column within those groups.
To group stocks by color, currency, industry, sector, or tag, right-click any column header, mouse over ‘Group By’, and select the desired category.
A filter reduces the number of tickers displayed in the Table to only those that meet your specified criteria.
To filter the table, right-click any column header and enter your criteria. For numerical columns, you enter a value; for categorical columns (like Sector), you select the specific items you wish to see.
There are several ways to clear filters. You can click on ‘Active Filters’ in the top blue bar of the table to ‘Remove All’ or delete specific ones. Alternatively, use the filter icon below the views bar or the individual filter tags in the white bar above the table.
The Membership filter also includes an ‘Exclude Selections’ option, which displays everything except the checked items.
To add color to a column for better visual organization, right-click a column header and select ‘Color’ from the menu.
Historical data (TTM, Quarterly, and Yearly) can be viewed by right-clicking any column or ticker symbol and selecting ‘Historical Data’. This opens a dedicated window for trend analysis.
Premium and Premium Plus subscribers can detach the historical data window to let it float freely by clicking the detach icon in the upper right corner.
