Are you sure you have them in the folder that has the XLA file, and that
XLA file is the one being pointed to by the add-in manager? Some people
have had issues because they installed the add-in more than once, in
multiple locations.

yes.

as i'm getting crazy deleted the add-in files then i checked if on my pc there were other copies, i deleted all. i also deleted the add in from excel and i restart my pc.
i downloaded again the add in files zip from this site and i did exactly what is written on page 2 of the "manual", but it's still the same

is there some particular library / reference in vba to activate? do you have a list of references that must be activated? (even if i don't think the problem is connected because, on one another pc worked once and now has the same problem)

Nope. Nothing special needs to be done, except that the TXT files need to
be in the same folder as the XLA file.

If that's the case, I'm at a loss as to why it's not working.

Re: msn last 10 year eps rchelement #'s 333...342 I get an error mes

For dividends, in addition to Randy's suggestion you can use the AdvFN elements.

AdvFN shows dividends per share in the Income Statement section. They also provide the payout ratio, however, I've had some odd results with their calculation. So, I recommend dividing this by the EPS to derive the payout ratio yourself.

Hello Mike,

Do I use =rchgetelementnumber function to get the dividends?

What element numbers do I use for the last 5 years dividends?

Mike,
Thank you,

Use the YahooHistory formula (see below)

It has to be array entered over two columns and as many rows as you need

My example gets MMM dividends 2/21/07 thru 02/15/12

=RCHGetYahooHistory("mmm",2007,1,3,2012,3,31,"v",,,,)

=RCHGetElementNumber($B$2,3522) dividends per share dps

Hello Randy,

I am using rchgetelementnumber to try and get the last 5-10 years of dps, after the 5th year (3522) doesn't work.

=RCHGetElementNumber($B$2,3522) to =RCHGetElementNumber($B$2,3518)

Would you make a suggestion for how best to get dps perhaps for at least 5 years?

Thanks,

3b.

RCHGetElementNumber only succesful when using one way, very strange!

Hi Randy,

I have been using the RCHGetElementNumber function successfully at least on one computer on my network.

Now I experience this strange situation:
When I assign "=RCHGetElementNumber("ABB", 848)" to a cell formula, I get results, however when I instead use RCHGetElementNumber("~~~~~", 848) as a header in a Table with ABB as the Symbol in the Ticker column, I receive an error! How is this possible??
I have to add, that previously the second variant worked fine on both computers. Now only the first variant is working and only on the computer which runs Windows XP, IE 8. The one who fails runs on Windows 7.

It is also important to note that it seems to concern only 848 (& 849)which is Zacks Rank from their website.
I haven't made changes to the program and none to the setup (Windows, Network), and the failure of variant 1 occured on both computers simultaneously. Must there be a special http or other port enabled in NAT?

4b.

Very strange. The actual formula works for me as well, but not the version
for smfUpdateDownloadTable. I'm running under Vista. It's failing under an
Evaluate() function, so I'm not getting any diagnostic with the error.

This workaround appears to work:

RCHGetTableCell("http://www.zacks.com/research/print.php?t=~~~~~",1,">Zacks
Rank")

Ahhhhh. I know what it is. I recently changed the Zacks element definitions
to be formulas. But Evaluate() errors out if an internal string gets too
long during the evaluate process.

Re: Historical annual EPS and annual Dividends

Hello Jeff,

I was wondering if you had any luck with designing a template using the naic ssg model?

How did you get around the yearly dividends?

Did you use?

=rchgetelements?

or

=gethistory?

Thanks,
