Hi,
How do I change a symbol for a stock so I can merge the new data to the old data

VRX changed their symbol to BHC on 6/18

Thanks,

Allan

You need to use the script editor for this: (Tools -> Script Editor)
Symbols.RenameSymbol(oldName, newName);

Or simply delete the symbol and create a new one.
