Ticker Symbol Index

The "SymbolIndex" function reads a list of ticker symbols stored under a file and gets the index of a specified symbol (entered by you) from the list. It then returns "1" if the index is the same as the index you entered manually.

Example of usage:

List of ticker symbols: (One symbol per line)
A
AA
AAPL
C
MSFT
X

Your formulas:

a = SymbolIndex("AA", 1); // Returns "1" because "AA" is located at index 1
a = SymbolIndex("AAPL", 3); // Returns "0" because "AAPL" is located at index 3
a = SymbolIndex("TEST", 3); // Returns "0" because "TEST" cannot be found in the list
