Excuse me for jumping in on your thread but I was looking for a simple example and picked this first.
If I enter into a browser
http://emma.msrb.org/SecurityView/SecurityDetails.aspx?cusip=838736UV6

I get a page asking me to "Accept" then I get the data.

When I enter that function in Excel I just get "Error"
=smfGetTagContent("http://emma.msrb.org/SecurityView/SecurityDetails.aspx?cusip=838736UV6","a",-1,"/IssueDetails.")

Is there something else I should do?
I've checked the source of that page and indeed see the data enclosed between <a> and /IssueDetails.aspx

You have to view the original webpage and "Accept" using Internet Explorer
or the Excel Web Query.

The add-in uses the Excel interface which relies on IE so it must have the
"accept" cookie. Cookies from other browsers aren't visible to Excel or IE.

smfGetOptionQuotes returning ERROR

I have been using smfGetOptionQuotes to retrieve quotes from MSN for months in two different spreadsheets very successfully. Today, for no apparent reason, the function has begun returning ERROR. The spreadsheets have not even been closed since yesterday when they worked fine. Today, I update them and ERROR. Any thoughts as to what the problem could be? Something changed at MSN?

Thanks.

I just uploaded version 2.1.2012.02.17 of the add-in to the "Works in
Progress" folder for this issue.

MSN changed the base URL of the options quotes web page from:

http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/options/default.asp?Symbol=

...to:

http://investing.money.msn.com/investments/equity-options/?symbol=
http://investing.money.msn.com/investments/etf-options/?symbol=

Just started with the RCHGetYahooquotes formula

Hello,

I just joined this group and just started with the RCHGetYahooQuote-formula.

If I use thise code:

=RCHGetYahooQuotes(A2;"o") I get the price in cents (it should be 59,59 euro)

Example
ADS.DE ADIDAS N 5.959,00

Does anyone know how to get right?

And I also want to add another variable, how do I do that? Is that by
adding it comma-separated like =RCHGetYahooQuotes(A2;"o,p,f") etc?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Ronald
Holland

Sorry, but the add-in is based on U.S. Regional settings. There are some
items in the "Links" area for adjusting conversion of amounts.

Check the "Documentation" folder of the Files area of the group for more
info on the function parameters. But, no, you would not comma-delimit the
Yahoo codes.
