Financial Statements Date Subsetting

You're leaving out a step -- take a look at the examples for viewFin and note that you have to download the financial data first with getFin() Michael On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 9:53 PM, Brian Edmundson

Dear All,
I'm new at R, but I really just need a couple of things. ?The first thing I
need is to figure out how to get each individual financial statement
(CF,BS,IS). ?I need each individual one because getting them all at once
allows for formatting issues once it is a CSV. ?The date subsetting is what
I need because I will be running a statistical model in excel. ?I know I
could probably build a cleaner model in R, but I have already built it in
excel.
The first place I am stuck at is actually viewing the financials. I have
gotten it to work a few times, but i am trying to script the installation
sequence ( I still assume I have to load the packages as well - which I
have done).
I have tried this sequence downloading straight from the - i think - the
CRAN mirror and I have also tried downloading this sequence straight from
R-Project.com...
install.packages("TTR")
install.packages("zoo")
install.packages("Defaults")
install.packages("xts")
install.packages("quantmod")
this still (from both downloading sources) produces
viewFin("GE.f", "BS", "Q")
Error in viewFin("GE.f", "BS", "Q") : ?x? must be of type ?financials?
Any help would be greatly appreciated - thank everyone so much!
