You are right. It looks in much better shape after removing "$" signs. I was actually thinking about something like that, but could not figure it out. Let's see whether there will be any other improvements in soon future. I will upload an updated version once, we finalize the excel file.

It says 4.49% (30 yr AAA corporate bond yield) on the file, but that is static. Yahoo Finance has the data on corporate bond yields as well as treasuries:

Thanks Randy, but what does the greater sign ">" before market cap mean?

Because the "Market Cap (intraday) :" string is not in the source code of the web page. If you look at the web page, you'll notice it has a "5" tag on it for the footnotes. The actual source code for that table cell is:

<td class="yfnc_tablehead1" width="74%">Market Cap (intraday)<font size="-1"><sup>5</sup></font>:</td>

...so you have a lot of data between "(intraday)" and ":".

What I use is:

=RCHGetTableCell(" http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s= "&$A1,1,">Market Cap")

A1 is on the page that holds this formula
A1 =MCHP

It's the end of the HTML tag prior to the "Market Cap" string. I find it
useful to use those from time to time because it can make the search string
unique. However, you can't just assume it will immediately precede -- you
need to look at the source code of the web page. For example, this was the
table cell contents, including the HTML tags:

<td class="yfnc_tablehead1" width="74%"*>Market Cap* (intraday)<font
size="-1"><sup>5</sup></font>:</td>

Thanks, and one last question. What do you have to do to see the html code? David

For me, using FireFox, I just do a right click on the web page. One of the
context menu items I get is "View Page Source". I'm pretty sure IE (and
other browsers) have a similar process. One advantage for me under FireFox
is that if the data I'm going after is within a frame on the web page, it
also allows me context menu items to view just the framed page, or the
source code of the framed page -- if the data being extracted is from that
framed page, you'd need its URL for the add-in functions.

Randy

I can't find the smfWord utility (along with others like smfJoin and smfConvertData). I am using the latest Version 2.1.2011.04.03 of the add-in.

Is it a problem with my PC, or have these utilities been removed?

Thank you again for your wonderful work.

smfWord() and smfJoin() should be in the 2.1.2011.04.03 version of the
add-in. They were added to the add-in on 2011-02-16, and are still there in
my version of the add-in. In general, you wouldn't use smfConvertData(), as
it is a utility routine for other add-in functions.

Free Cash Flow per Share

Does anyone know of a reliable source of Free Cash Flow per share?  I am interested in MLPs and REITs that depend on FCF/Share.

An example is NRGY (from ValueLine 9/9/2011 for the year 2011):

Cash Flow per Unit    1.55
Earnings per Unit        0.50
Dist. Decl'd per Unit   2.82
Capital Spending per Unit     0.90
