Hi Randy,

I greatly appreciate this add-in and have already created my own calculator from it.

However, I was wondering if you could help me figure out how to screen a handful of stock tickers through a calculation and spit out their calculated values into another cell. Thanks for your time.

Why wouldn't you just do a normal calculation in EXCEL? I guess I don't
understand what you're trying to do.

I just downloaded this file, it looks very impressive, however when I click on any of the buttons I get a compile error: "Method or data member not found" with .ProgressBar1 highlighted??
Is this a problem at my end or is a module missing?

exact DATE match for smfGetEconData ?

wondering if there is a way to retrieve an EXACT date match for the data being retrieved?

ie.
Obtaining data from NHSUSSPU15 for January 15,2012:
=smfGetEconData("NHSUSSPU15",DATE(2012,01,15))

returns the correct value of "5"

however the date is actually JANUARY 01, 2012.

Is there any way to return a matching value of "01-01-2012" for reference purposes?

Given that data series is monthly, the day will ALWAYS be the first of the
month.

The function was written to look for the first data less than or equal to
the passed date, to account for the possibility of weekly and monthly time
series. So that you DIDN'T have to know the exact dates.

You can always use:

=smfGetEconData("NHSUSSPU15","Date Range")
=smfGetEconData("NHSUSSPU15","Frequency")

...to find out what kinds of dates are available...

yes the function works excellent, however assuming one wishes to compare data from different series...it will be helpful to import exact date references.

take for instance this example:
I wish to compare "Per Capita personal income" in California against the Far West Regional average on December 15, 2011.
the State average is published Annually
the Regional average is published Monthly

therefore if I happen to use December 15 as my date...the State stat is actually 11 months behind the Regional stat!

So it'd be helpful to therefore realize actual true dates for the stats I am importing...

(c what I mean?)

To me, that's just a matter of you knowing and understanding the data you
are retrieving. If you want to compare daily to monthly to annual, you have
to compare the data at the annual dates. If you want to compare daily to
monthly, you need to use the monthly dates. There is nothing to compare on
the other dates.

With this function, is there even any reason to use the monthly or annual
series if the daily is available? I suppose speed would be a factor if you
are retrieving a lot of different dates, since the daily file has more data
to search through.
