Do you have a way to get investors.com's up/down volume ratio from the stock check up page? Or any other page that it may be on for that matter. I checked out the spreadsheet example - "Raw Data for IBD Extract" but it wouldn't work for me. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Where did you get that file? The only version I can find is in the "Need to
be looked at" folder, which is an obsolete and non-working file. IBD no
longer has things on web pages that use ticker symbols.

Instead, try:

RCHGetTableCell-Template-IBD-Stock-Checkup.xls

I just loaded it up from the files area and it's working fine for me.

for example
Income Statements - Quaterly
http://financials.morningstar.com/income-statement/is.html?t=MMM®ion=USA&culture=en-us

I get it by first clicking on the "Export" button on the web page in
FireFox, then going to the menu and choosing

> Tools > Downloads

...and then doing a right click on the file that was just downloaded and
choosing the "Copy Download Link".

Once you've got the necessary URL, you should just be able to change the
ticker symbol and use it for another company... ?

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

btw, an unrelated question: when I use RCHGetElementNumber() or RCHGetYahooQuotes(), can I control when it executes and refresh the UDFs? I have many UDF cells in my spreadsheet. Each time when I open the file, it takes a very long time to load all of them. Most of the time, I only need a couple of columns.

Thanks

J.

er....sorry, I'm very new to coding. How do I look at the source code? Is there a code in the group?

Thanks, Randy

Perhaps I can make a suggestion to make the "C3" cell a dropdown with the major HTML type.

I know it is a lot to ask, but could you in the future include a worksheet with instructions on how to use the spreadsheet.

Thanks for all you do for us less capable folks,

Kermit

Anything particular in mind?

I finally threw that template together because it was something I did "on the fly" so many times, I decided I may as well make a template out of it and save myself some time. I've used it quite often myself since I created it. But, even creating it "on the fly" only took a few seconds (after "practicing" so many times) -- there really aren't that many moving parts to it.
