How to check quality of downloaded data

I'm wondering if anyone had developed object to check data quality. It will be very important for back-testing as well as for daily work.
For instance, I'd like to identify stock that are missing volume data, all 4 prices are the same, or missing one or a few bars.
Currently, I export data out of QuantShare and run my programs, then use "Historical Stock Market Data-SplitAdjusted" to refresh in downloaded data, too much extra work.
Codes, objects, ideas, suggestions are all welcome. Thank you in advance!

I think Dynamic WatchList is one of method. For instance, use { filter = SUMIF(High==Low,1,20) ; } to list stocks that have abnormal price pattern(s). My left question is how to filter out missing volume.

Best Answer

For missing volume, you can just check if volume is equal to 0.
