hello randy,

while trying to extract the information from the is, bs and cf of WSJ from this company,

http://quotes.wsj.com/SG/XSES/O23

i have experienced some problems while extracting certain data

i used this format =RCHGetTableCell("http://quotes.wsj.com/"&A1&"/financials/annual/income-statement",0,"Sales Growth")

the errors are when i key in the words in the columns to replace ''Sales Growth''

1) under http://quotes.wsj.com/SG/XSES/O23/financials/annual/income-statement

a) Depreciation shows me an empty space
b) Net Income shows ''ERROR"
c) Discontinued Operation shows ''ERROR''

2) under http://quotes.wsj.com/SG/XSES/O23/financials/annual/balance-sheet

a) under accumulated depreciation section, the words ''Buildings'', ''Lands & Improvement'', ''Machinery & Equipment'', ''Computer Software and Equipment'', ''Transportation Equipment'' and ''Other Property, Plant & Equipment'' produces repeated results as the one at Property, Plant & Equipment - Gross above accumulated depreciation

b) Total Assets shows me an ''ERROR''

c) Convertible Debt Shows me a replicated answer of ''Non-Convertible Debt''

d) Deferred Income shows me a replicated answer of ''Other Liabilities (excl. Deferred Income)

e) Liabilities & Shareholders' Equity shows me ''NA''

3) under http://quotes.wsj.com/SG/XSES/O23/financials/annual/cash-flow

a) Investment Tax Credit shows a replicated answer of ''Deferred Taxes & Investment Tax Credit''

b) Extraordinaries shows me the repeated result of ''Net Income Before Extraordinaries''

is there any solution for the problems above?

thanks!

Have you looked up those strings in the source code of the web page to see
if they will get you positioned where you need to be? If they show up
before the table, they will not extract the data you want.

Extraction of the data is dependent upon using good (and hopefully unique)
search terms. So any time you use an ordinary phrase, you are in danger of
ending up in the wrong location.

Well, give me the exact formulas you used for each that got you the errors
you mention. Otherwise, I'm starting from scratch. And you've got so many.

Anyone else having problems with Yahoo reporting ETF's and Index funds? Specifically:

CDZ.TO iShares S&P TSX CDN Dividend Index Fund
ZSP.TO BMO S&P 500 Index ETF

Both return a previous close of N/A when using
{=RCHGetYahooQuotes( G5:G25,A2:E2,,NOW()}

Where G5:G25 is my symbols range
A2:E2 is (in this case) p

If you ever see "N/A", that means it is what Yahoo is posting for the
values. The add-in doesn't generate "N/A" values, it just passes them along.

Hopefully, a temporary issue, since someone mentioned a similar issue on
another equity.

Thanks Randy,
I realize it is Yahoo posting the value of N/A, thats why I asked if others were having problems with Yahoo. I could not get proper values all day yesterday for those two symbols, and could not even call them up on their website. The problem continued this morning, but checked again about ten minutes ago, and is now seemingly reporting properly to my spreadsheet. Still cannot lookup those symbols on their website, however.

That's a Yahoo issue. Click on the "Download Data" button on the web page
you cited. It shows all "N/A" fields, so Yahoo isn't populating the CSV
file data items.

hello randy,

yes i did tried it

but when i create the url string independently, it seems ok. but when i started to combine, i either missed out a concatenation symbol before or either after, i guess i neeed even more practice

but regarding the problem, it works well!

thanks randy

Randy,

Thank you very much for making all these tools available.

I have not been able to successfully use the smfGetOptionQuotes() function. Regardless of the formula I enter, "#NAME" is returned.

For example, when I entered =smfGetYahooOptionQuote("SPY","C",(2013,6,1),160,"b") "#NAME" was returned.

I looked at the documentation files to try to find a solution and didn't find anything there. I understand that "#NAME" means that the link is unresolved and made sure the links have the RCH_Stock_Market_Functions.xla source.

I also searched for similar questions and didn't find anything that answered the specific problem I am having.

Please let me know how I can fix this problem.

Thank you for your help!

What you list below can't be what you entered. The "(2013,6,1)" gets
flagged by EXCEL as a formula error, which it is. This worked fine for me:

=smfGetYahooOptionQuote("SPY","C",DATE(2013,6,22),160,"b")

However, if you enter that into your spreadsheet and get a #NAME! error,
the most likely reason is that the add-in isn't installed properly, or that
you have an earlier version of the add-in that doesn't have that function
in it.

What do you get with:

=RCHGetElementNumber("Version&quot;)
