So it would just be:

=RCHGetElementNumber(Ticker; 5316)

...provided you have a cell named "Ticker" in the workbook.
 
Ok so far so good ...But it returns error or returns 0 (the symbol i hve put in the function to return when error ) Where can I pull actual prices from ?

How can I pull prices fron the web page ?

Thanks For the patiens !!!

See the documentation for the function in the "Documentation" folder of the files area. You DON'T want the file path on the front of the function -- check out the "Location Error" item in the "Links" area of the group, where there are tips and FAQs related to the add-in. If you have a file path in front of the function, it means EXCEL was not able to resolve the link, so you need to do it manually.

So it would just be:

=RCHGetElementNumber(Ticker; 5316)

...provided you have a cell named "Ticker" in the workbook.
 

Do I have to do anything else or I just drop that to the excel cell ?

For the most part, the add-in is user-defined functions. Some need to be array-entered, if they can return a range of data -- how to do that is described in the documentation of those functions.
 
Can that be updated by using web data refresh button ?
>
No. They are functions, not web queries. In general, the best way to update the add-in functions is to use the smfForceRecalculation macro -- info on it can be found in the "Links" area of the group.

Take a look at the AdvFN entry in the "Links" area of the group. It may
solve your "Error" returned value.

To get stock quotes, use the RCHGetYahooQuotes() function.

Historical and Real Time Pricing

Have a column of (i) historical month end dates and (ii) todays date at the bottom. This way I can see price trends historically and updated through todays most recent activity. Next to the date column will be displayed for each date the High, Low, Close and for todays value it will be the most recent quote. Thought about trying to combine GetYahooHistory with GetYahooQuote but am not sure given the array nature of YahooHistory if this will work. What are your thoughts?

Why not just use the RCHGetYahooHistory() function using a monthly time
frame?

As long as you're signed up for the real-time quotes on Yahoo, and logged
in with IE, RCHGetYahooQuotes() should get you the real-time quote.

Right, but if I have a column array of YahooHistory how can I insert YahooQuote into the array and have it apply only when a date other than month end appears?  For example, thinking of =IF(TODAY()>RCHGETYAHOOHISTORY(Ticker,,Start Mo, Start Day,End Yr, End Mo, End Day,,"D"),RCHGETYAHOOQUOTES(Ticker,"ll",,NOW()),RCHGETYAHOOHISTORY(Ticker,Start Yr, Start Mo, Start Day,End Yr, End Mo, End Day,,"C"))

Since YahooHistory only posts as of the most recent trading day end, this test says if the current date is later than the most recent YahooHistory trading day, then retrieve the YahooQuotes value otherwise print the YahooHistory value. 

One last cosmetic item, when I input =RCHGetYahooQuotes("GLD","ll",,NOW()), I get back Dec  9 - <b>166.40</b>.  How can I just get the value and nothing else?

Thanks

You can't insert RCHGetYahooQuotes() into the array. You'd have to do two
separate functions. If you give RCHGetYahooHistory() a beginning date and
ending date (the prior month-end), you'd just need to put the
RCHGetYahooQuotes() function at the end of the RCHGetYahooHistory()
function. I'd suggest retrieving the adjusted closing prices. Otherwise, a
dividend event could make your historical quotes look strange. For example,
in 2008, some of the ETF's had distributions that exceeded 10%. Some mutual
funds have big ones at year-end as well.

To get the just the price of GLD, you just need to use the correct Yahoo
code -- "l1". That's a lower case letter "L" followed by a number one. Not
two lower case letter "L"s.

Hi Randy, excellent work! Genius! I however would like to ask something a little more out of the box.

I understand its not my place to give you suggestions but in your possible future releases of the updated versions, will there be a function for an RSS extraction? Such as company news?

I do not have prior VBA knowledge but am willing to learn if you point me in the direction.

Doubtful that I would go to an RSS extraction.

To tell the truth, I did some Google searching and got no where. I get
"access denied" with any RSS file I attempt to read with XMLHTTP.

Hello,

I was wondering if you could add Smart Money fundamental data to the add-in.

Thanks,
Joe

You can use the formulas yourself to get data from SmartMoney. For example:

=RCHGetTableCell("http://www.smartmoney.com/quote/MMM/?story=keyStatistics",1,"Dividend
X-Date")
