Hi all,

Sorry for digging up an old tread...

I am also looking income/balance sheet data for european companies.

Reuters.com worked more or less for a while, but not any more. It seems I can't stay logged-in on reuters.com , nor can my Excel(2003). Hence, no data are "added in".

Seems the trouble started after installing a new browser version (Firefox).

Any ideas on a different data source and/or on a fix ?

Regards,
M.

FireFox usage is irrelevant to the add-in. The add-in uses the MicroSoft
Internet engine used by both IE and EXCEL, so you would need to log in or
create the cookie either with the EXCEL Web Query dialog or with IE.

Give me an example of a European ticker symbol on Reuters that had
income/balance sheet data.

I believe MSN gets its data from Reuters, so it going directly to Reuters
might speed up things.

Otherwise, you could look at retrieving the data directly from SEC filings.
I haven't looked at that alternative in some time. Especially since it may
not be a good way to go if you are "mixing" data items from various
sources, because the "pigeon holing" of the data into categories won't be
done the data sources may not be done by the SEC since they have the raw
data.

[Help] RCHGetHTMLTable

Hi Randy,
I tried RCHGetHTMLTable to get financial statements from the following
links:
http://www.cophieu68.com/incomestatementq.php?view=ist&id=ree&year=-1
<http://www.cophieu68.com/incomestatementq.php?view=ist&id=ree&year=-1>
http://www.cophieu68.com/incomestatementq.php?view=bs&id=ree&year=-1
<http://www.cophieu68.com/incomestatementq.php?view=bs&id=ree&year=-1>
http://www.cophieu68.com/incomestatementq.php?view=cf&id=ree&year=-1
<http://www.cophieu68.com/incomestatementq.php?view=cf&id=ree&year=-1>
With the 1st link, the below function worked fine.(Summary!D4 is the
stock ticker cell: id = ree)
=RCHGetHTMLTable("http://www.cophieu68.com/incomestatementq.php?view=ist\
&year=-1&id=
"&Summary!D4,"Kết Quả Kinh Doanh",-1,"",1)
<=RCHGetHTMLTable(>

For the 2nd and 3th links, I tried different ways but did not succeed.
For example,
=RCHGetHTMLTable("http://www.cophieu68.com/incomestatementq.php?id=ree&y\
ear=-1&view=bs
","BẢNG CÂN ÐỐI KẾ TOÁN",-1,"",1)
<=RCHGetHTMLTable(>

Hope you could help me.Thanks you so much.

The reason the add-in is having a problem because of this HTML coding on
the web page:

colspan="2"style="background...

The add-in expects the "colspan" value to end with a space. Since there is
no space between "2" and "style", it has a problem.

As a workaround, you can use individual RCHGetTableCell() functions...

OK. But I meant which data items were you having trouble picking up,
extracting from the web pages?

Thank you for great function, RCHCreateComment() function to create a view of multiple charts, based on input ticker symbols.
This is one neat SMF Template I use it use it for row over charts (3) and PnF (2) charts.
I found out best way to copy it down by shutting off Auto Cal, then paste special formulas, Excel 2010. Then cal sheet and watch the Magic.
Then in Review chick (show all Comments twice) then roll on. Do you have one for news (general ) and (ticker).

What does #value! response mean when using RCHGetElementNumber funct

Posted by: "investor952" investor952@yahoo.com   investor952

Mon May 21, 2012 7:05 pm (PDT)



For many stock tickers and for man RCHGetElementNumber functions, I get a "#value!" response (it doesn't say error)...however for some tickers, the same functions sometimes return values. For example,
RCHGetElementNumber(ticker, 7356), where ticker is GBCI, returns "#VALUE#". Other times, with others, I get 'error'. What is the difference and what is the cause of "#value!"? thx.

My first suspicion would be that "ticker" isn't a defined name when you get
the #VALUE? errors.

For "Error", there could be a variety of reasons -- have you applied the
fix mentioned in the "Links" area of the group, for AdvFN access?

Hello Randy..Not sure if I understood you correctly, but I didn't
use the actual word ticker...but rather..replace that with stock's ticker. ..and the ticker must exist because it has an msn stock scouter value and a dividend..so, it must have a payout ratio, which is what the example I listed was for...right?

here is a copy/paste example from my spreadsheet...note, the numbers above the column names are the associated numbers assigned to them by your RCHGetElementNumber function..thx.

45 47 7356 7357
BV/shr Payout Ratio Payout Ratio FY1 Payout Ratio FY2
24.15 0.64 0.51 0.56
12.18 0.46 0.47 1.01
41.51 0.2 #VALUE! #VALUE!
23.99 0.38 0.39 0.44
20.86 0.58 0.58 0.49
21.71 0.69 0.64 0.59
34.88 NA #VALUE! 0.33
NA 0.3 0.29 0.2
21.92 0.32 #VALUE! #VALUE!
68.73 0.2 0.2 0.19
5.71 0.56 0.56 0.59

The tickers for the above are

Symbol Company Name
AWK American Water Works Company Inc
UTMD Utah Medical Products Inc
AMP Ameriprise Financial Inc
TWC Time Warner Cable Inc
KFT Kraft Foods Inc
OKE Oneok Inc
EIX Edison International
KNL Knoll Inc
SRCE 1st Source Corp
LLL L-3 Communications Holdings Inc
MPR Met Pro Corp

Ahem. Your formula was NOT as you represent. The 0.51 and 0.56 you have in
the first row for AWK are actually 51 and 56 on AdvFN -- so you must be
dividing what is returned by 100.

So, AMP is returning "#VALUE!" because the add-in function itself is
returning "Error", which you are trying to divide by 100. That won't work.
The add-in function returns "Error" because AMP is a financial institution
and has different line items on AdvFN. Payout Ratio is not among them.

EIX only gets a "#VALUE!" error on the first fiscal year because AdvFN has
no data for payout ratio in the first year, so it returns "Error". Again,
attempting to divide by 100 gives "#VALUE!".

SRCE is another financial institution, so you get the two "#VALUE!" errors
again.

Sorry..you are correct..I was dividing the results by 100 because a payout ratio .. is.. a ratio...and not a whole number and I use these values elsewhere in my spreadsheet.

hmm...do you know if there are other areas in rchgetelementnumber that have HISTORICAL payout ratios over several years?..whether they are financial companies or not?thx.

It appears they have something going on in the web page that prevents the
add-in from retrieving the source code of the web page. I can't even access
the web page with the EXCEL Web Query process.
