Currently, I run a coded strategy that gives me the option of a print out into excel.
This spread sheet provides a ranking. From left to right: ticker symbol, followed by rankings based on different time periods of my choosing. (eg.,21,30,55,90). With the increasing number of tickers
in my equity asset group, it would be helpful if I could include a categorical description next to the ticker in parenthesis or if it had its own column in the spread sheet (even better, if so). A down the road goal would be to color code the descriptors. These descriptors are something that I would add myself,and it would not be pulled from the full "name". The problem with the full name is that it is long and includes the retailer.

As an example: JOF (smcap japan)

So you don't appear to be interested in Bars.SecurityName, you will add that yourself... could you clarify what your question is about? If the problem is adding a custom description to another string value, then this resource might come helpful:

C# String Overview - joining, inserting, concatenating etc.

Bars.SecurityName would be better than nothing and perhaps I can color code from there.
Is there an easy way to insert this series into the coded program....considering that I am a look a duck out of water when even trying to learn c#. (If they had a class run by Fidelity, here locally, I would go..fwiw)

Thanks.

Inserting an arbitrary string (like Bars.SecurityName or its derivative) is accomplished with C# String functions. Please check the link in my reply above.

For example:

Same as:

How do I start with C# ?
and the link above full of examples.

Eugene, thanks. I will have to digest this by playing around with it. Trial and error for me.
