Re: Error using RCHGetTableElement

I'll assume you mean the RCHGetElementNumber() function.

In any case, an "Undefined" result means you didn't unzip all of the files
into the add-in folder. The element definitions are in files external to
the XLA file.

I wonder if someone who understands this syntax can take a look, for example at, JPM Option Quote Table in Yahoo and provide the proper syntax (purely as an example, for learning purpose)) for accessing Jan 37.50 Call Option "bid" value (which is 0.06) ...The URL for the table is http://finance.yahoo.com/q/op?s=JPM+Options ...

Why does RCHGetYahooQuotes() with Now() slows down Excel so much?

I am using RCHGetYahooQuotes() with Now() as one of the parameters to download price quotes from Yahoo. It is used as in an array formula. However, using Now() will slow down Excel when I work on other worksheets. The cells on other worksheets are updated much more slowly after calculation. Removing Now() will return the speed to normal. But this creates another problem. The price quotes do not update when F9 is pressed and I do not know how else to update the price quotes.

Is there any way to use RCHGetYahooQuotes() without slowing down other worksheets?

Thank you.

I use the smfForceRecalculation macro to resolve that problem.

I don't use NOW but instead assign this smf macro to a button I create on
the worksheet. I creatively call the button "Refresh" :)

See Randy's info here on how to use it:
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/smf_addin/message/7625

Randy's instructions talk about assigning the macro to a keyboard shortcut -
which is fine too. To use a button like I do, Google will provide many
helpful articles.

Because NOW() is a volatile function, which recalculates EVERY time
something changes in the workbook, which also triggers all related formulas
to recalculate as well.

I always use the smfForceRecalculation macro to do my updates (see "Links"
area of group for more info).

Another thing you can do is point the refresh parameter of the add-in
function to a particular cell in your worksheet. Then, whenever you change
the value in that cell, it will force the add-in function to recalculate.
For example, you could just toggle it between 1 and 0.
