That's probably because the website has some type of redirection upon your
first visit of the day. So a cookie needs to be updated to indicate that
visit has been completed -- that requires a visit to the website with the
IE object so the cookie can be updated. You probably replace the query with
a manual visit to the website.

See the "Location errors" item in the LINKS area of the group -- this is an
EXCEL issue when workbooks get shared.

So I tried doing the find and replace ='C:\Program Files\SMF Add
In\RCH_Stock_Market_Functions.xla'!RCHGetElementNumber(Ticker,25) and
replacing the ='C:\Program Files\SMF Add
In\RCH_Stock_Market_Functions.xla'! with nothing so that it is just
=RCHGetElementNumber(Ticker,25). When I do that and then try to run the
model I still recieve the same errors as before for the formulas I was
having issues with before I downloaded the new element definition.

Exit and restart EXCEL, and tell me what you get with these formulas in a
new workbook:

=RCHGetElementNumber("Version")
=RCHGetElementNumber("MMM",25)
=smfGetAParms(25)

By the way, element #25 hasn't been populated correctly by MSN since they
changed their web pages back in April. I would recommend the
RCHGetYahooQuotes() function to get current quotes data.

Element #25 won't work because you still have the old element definition...

Randy,

Stock Price Sector Industry

ABX 0 Barrick Gold Corp $40.80 Basic Materials Gold

Would you kindly show me how to add a column to the right of the above that will get me a quick pop-up chart (maybe through rch createcomment fn) for a list of symbols in col A. Plz reccommend the easiest place to go (Yahoo,Zacks,MSN?).
Thanks
Dave C.

I am trying to get the "p/e 5years average" from M*. Element 13946 give me "obsolete" as a value.
Is there any way I can get the p/e 5y avg?
Why other values like p/e ttm are ok eventhough they are in the same page?
Thx a lot.
 

Regards,
Jose L. Jacob

Probably because the 5-year average is on a dynamically generated web page
and the P/E ttm is coming from a different web page...

I don't know what element and web page you're looking at, so can't speak to
specifics.

This is the page I am looking at :
http://financials.morningstar.com/valuation/price-ratio.html?t=MCD&region=USA&culture=en-US
 
Element 13971 (TTM p/e) works.
Element 13946 (5y avg p/e) gives "obsolete".
Both are in the same above web page.

Regards,
Jose L. Jacob

The web page you cite has data placed on it dynamically, so the add-in
can't extract data from it.

Element #13971 comes from this web page:

http://quicktake.morningstar.com/stocknet/Valuation10.aspx?Symbol=MCD

You could compute your own 5-year average from the data there.

Thanks for the reply. It motivated me to do some research. Google does historical price quotes for individual stocks, but not for mutual funds. As far as I can tell, there's no easy way to get historical information on dividends and splits, even though if you look at the summary page's, all that information is there.

What I didn't know was Google was shutting down it's financial API entirely as of 10/20. The only useful functionality will be limited to Google Docs. According to Google, their data providers requested that they limit functionality to end-users.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the cleanest". What I want is accurate data. Currently, data is missing from the Yahoo! database. If that's not bad enough, various parameters calculated from that data such as rate of return measures as reported on Yahoo!'s web site are just wrong.
