Randy,

I am unable to find an element to use for the 50/100/200 day moving averages of the S&P 500. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for all of your work with the stock market resource. I use it almost every day.

Joel

"&Ticker&" question

Hi Randy,

I need a little help fixing this statement:

=RCHGetTableCell("http://investing.money.msn.com/investments/mutual-fund-rates?symbol=ABT",1,">Details","Previous Close")

It works like it is but I would like to change the ticker symbol ABT so it will work with "&Ticker&". Can it be changed?

Thank you for your help.

Pete

Just do normal EXCEL string concatenation. So the URL would be:

"http://investing.money.msn.com/investments/mutual-fund-rates?symbol=
"&Ticker

I don't have any path in the cells in my workbook. Each cell contains this formula with varying range addresses:
=RCHGetYahooQuotes(A33:A232,"l1")

The only way I can see a hard-coded path is if I deactivate the add-in. Then the formula appears as:
='C:\Program Files\SMF Add-In\RCH_Stock_Market_Functions.xla'!RCHGetYahooQuotes(A33:A232,"l1")
If I remove this path, save the file with a cell formula that only contains the function, I get the error again.

If I reactivate the add-in, the path disappears in the cell, indicating to me that it has found the add-in. But if I close the file, then reopen it, I get the error.

I have tried selectively removing the cells that contain the add-in, saving the file with a new name, closing it, then opening it again, and I still get the error.

I removed everything but one cell with the formula:
=RCHGetYahooQuotes("KO","d1")
saved the file and I still get the error when I open it.

I have redownloaded the zip file and reinstalled the add-in. No difference.

I deleted the SMF Add-In folder in C:\Program Files and reinstalled it in my user folder thinking maybe it was a rights issue (although I have administrator rights as the only user of this computer), then reactivated the add-in in its new location. No difference.

I'm out of ideas.

It sounds to me like you have a link error unrelated to the add-in. If all
of your formulas are resolving the links and removing the hard-coded path,
then the message is not for those cells.

Do you get the error if you create a new worksheet from scratch, save it,
and re-open it?

And, just out of curiosity, if you remove that last formula, save it, and
reopen it, do you STILL get the error (that would confirm the error is not
from add-in formula usage)?

If nothing else works, can you send me the workbook you have with just a
single formula? Maybe it'll be something obvious if I'm looking at it.

Closing Price

Hi Randy,

Two more questions:

I want to change this ----

=RCHGetTableCell("http://investing.money.msn.com/investments/mutual-fund\
-rates?symbol=
"&Ticker,1,">Details","Previous Close")

To ---

=RCHGetTableCell("http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s="&Ticker&"+Historical+\
Prices?=,1," Close")

I am getting the #VALUE error.

This is the Yahoo page....

And how do I know where the yellowed cells are located on the web pages?

Thank you once more for all your help.

Pete

The "+Historical+Prices" portion of the URL is unnecessary. But your problem
with that formula is that you don't have your string delimited properly with
quotes. You should try creating the URL by itself in a cell to be sure
you're creating it correctly. Then just copy that formula into the function.

The two yellow-shaded cells would be:

=RCHGetTableCell("http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s="&Ticker,0,">Close")
=RCHGetTableCell("http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s="&Ticker,5,">Close",,,,1)

To determine that usage, you'd need to examine the source code of the web
page to find the unique string to use for the search.

Problem to get last price of ^DJI

Posted by: "Ameri Sky" amerisky@yahoo.com   amerisky

Randy,

I want to get the last price of DJI. I used function:
=RCHGetYahooQuotes("^DJI","l1"). However the return is "Missing Symbols List.".

I have no problem with other indice like ^IXIC or ^GSPC. I have no problem with
stocks.

Regards

Jef

See:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance/known_issues/fitaki-13.html

The work-around I use is to use ticker symbol INDU instead.
