Problems to get data using RCHGetHTMLTable from the following link

Posted by: "Henry" hkctsui@shaw.ca   henrykctsui

Hello :

I try to get the volume of a put option for a stock:TA strike price $17.00
expire June 16 2012 from Montreal exchange :

http://www.m-x.ca/nego_cotes_in_en.php?symbol=TA
<http://www.m-x.ca/nego_cotes_in_en.php?symbol=TA&instrument=TA++++120616P17
.00#cote> &instrument=TA++++120616P17.00#cote

Using :

{=RCHGetHTMLTable("http://www.m-x.ca/nego_cotes_in_en.php?symbol=TA&instrume
nt=TA++++120616P17.00#cote","Volume:",-1,"",1)}

The result was blank and I try using different parameters and the result is
the same.

Is there any thing that needs to be changed in order to extract data from
Montreal exchange?

Please advise

Henry

You can't use a positional parameter in the URL (i.e. "#cote"). Try just:

=RCHGetHTMLTable("
http://www.m-x.ca/nego_cotes_in_en.php?symbol=TA&instrument=TA++++120616P17.00
","Volume:",-1,"",1)

Re: Using SMF Add-in over multiple worksheets

I agree.  But I have several 1 Tab spreadsheets that are for 1 Ticker Symbol.  I change the Ticker Symbol, then hit Enter, then Calculate the Page (Shift-F9).  The page updates the data.  I don't have to wait for the SMFForceRecalculation to get all the data for all the open spreadsheets.  What I don't know is if I enter the original Ticker Symbol, does it get the old data, or update data.

I use Rand() in my RCHGetYahooQuotes(), per your recommendation.  That seems to force a data update.

For something like RCHGetTableCell(), it would just retrieve the old data.
Because it extracts data from a saved copy of the web page.

SMFLite decimal separator issue for Non-US equities

Posted by: "nuno.nogueira" nuno.nogueira35@gmail.com   nuno.nogueira

Sun Apr 22, 2012 1:32 pm (PDT)



Hello,

Does anyone know how to fix the problem of the decimal separator of Non-US Stocks using SMFLite?

For example: 36,45 is returning 3645 using function RCHGetYahooQuotes in SMFLite.

I could change the regional settings but then I would need to do it in every PC.

Maybe we could add some code to the existing VBA to fix it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello :

I had tried the 30 minutes ,it does not retrieve any data but it works with daily ,week and monthy charts.

Is it possible to make modification to use existing template "RCHGetWebData-Template-Bar Chart-Quotes-Extract" for bar chart to work with TMA which can update the Canadian stock on 1 minutes interval .

http://tmx.quotemedia.com/charting.php?qm_page=24203 <http://tmx.quotemedia.com/charting.php?qm_page=24203&qm_symbol=TA> &qm_symbol=TA

Please advise

Henry

I just tried TA.TO and it worked fine for me. You're probably asking for a time period BarChart doesn't offer for Canadian stocks.

For example, when I look here for TA.TO:

http://charts.barchart.com/chart.asp?sym=TA.TO

...only 30-minute, daily, weekly, and monthly choices are available.

I had problems to get the quotes for Canadian stock like
TA.TO ,CU.TO ...by replacing the symbol from MMM.

Hmmm. 30 minutes is listed as an option, but no chart comes up when it is
clicked on. So that's why there is no data.

Not possible to get data from the other site as far as I can see. The
reason it is available from BarChart is because they have the underlying
data for the chart in the source code of the web page. I don't know of any
other web sites that do that. They only display an image.

Has anyone found and iPad app that can use smf_addin?

I would assume it is highly unlikely, because the add-in requires several
MicroSoft Windows O/S DLL libraries. The IPad uses a completely different
operating system.

Have you seen or used OnLive (http://desktop.onlive.com/)? If I could get them to put smf on the server that lets you access excel and I knew the location and pointed smf to it would it work?

No idea. But it would have to have the MicroSoft Windows DLL libraries
available...

Can anyone direct me to the best basic table to start learning the structure and interface of this addin? I've been doing a bit of my own analysis via Excel but can't even get close to what is going on here! However, being a total rookie, I just don't know where to start. I think I'm downloaded the necessary data to get started but I'm not sure.

There's really no structure or interface of the add-in. It's primarily a
collection of user-defined functions.

What I would suggest is going through the function documentation (folder
"Documentation" in the files area of the group) and going over the examples
for each, seeing why they work (or don't work -- some have date sensitive
items that would need to be changed) and what they are doing.
