Downloading a table from Barchart.com

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

Wed May 30, 2012 10:33 am (PDT)



I am trying to download a table of the bottom signal stocks from Barchart.com. I am using the formula:

=RCHGetHTMLTable("http://www.barchart.com/stocks/signals/bottom100","Custom View",1,"REGISTER FOR",-1)

With "Custom View" and "REGISTER FOR" being the two search boundaries before and after the table.

But it is not working, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you,

M.K.

That formula works fine for me. What results are you getting?

When I press CTRL+SHFT+ENTER for the array, excel just displays the formula in the highlighted cells. No results.

Try it in a brand new workbook and see if you get the same results.

There are reasons a formula will show up instead of the calculated results
of a formula.

Thank you Randy. One of the discussion threads you pointed me to mentioned that it is a formatting issue. So I copied the formula into a text pad and noticed that there are two spaces before the equal sign. I removed these and then re-copied the formula back into Excel, and voila! it worked.

Thank you.

I am running excel 2007 and have confirmed my installation with the =RCHGetYahooHistory("MSFT") test. My problem now is I cannot get any of the templates to work. I have looked though all the files and used the examples and documentation and such but no luck. Any suggestion?

Thanks

You may need to fix unresolved links (see the "Location errors" item in the
LINKS area of the group).

Otherwise, "it doesn't work" isn't enough of a description of a problem to
give me a way to help.

Basically when I type a ticker symbol into a template nothing happens. Usually just #NAME comes up in every box.

Those are the unresolved links I mentioned. They have to be manually fixed.

MSN Elements not working

Am I missing some update? All the MSN elements I tried are not working. I've just replaced my addin files with the addin file package in Works in Progress (including the msf-elements-1 file), but still no luck.

Did you replace the file after exiting EXCEL? The add-in loads the element
definitions once, so if you replace the definitions file after that loading
process, you won't pick up the new definitions until you exit and restart
EXCEL, or run the smfForceRecalculation macro (see LINKS area of the Yahoo
group).

I did. I also ran the smfForceRecalculation macro. I also changed IE's Temp. Internet files setting to open new sites on every visit. Purged the temp. files several times and restarted excel several times (forcing it to calculate every time). but nothing is working. I noticed that the SMF-Elements-1 file I downloaded from the worksinprogress folder displays Jan. 27 as the last modification date. Isn't it supposed to show a May modification date?

OK, it's now working. I have found out that, for some quirky reason, if you choose to replace the old file when downloading, it somehow either windows does not replace the old file or it keeps its time stamps. But things changed when I downloaded the new file into a different folder, deleted the old one and then moved the updated one there!
