I'm using =RCHGetYahooQuotes(B7:B207,C6:D6,,NOW()) as my array formula.

In C6 I have 'n' and in D6 I have 'l1' which gets me the Name and last price of the stock in Column A. I think the 'n' and 'l1' are called the Yahoo codes.

I've looked in the Files section, but I am not finding, a list of other available Yahoo codes. I'm specifically looking for the Yahoo codes for 'Next Earnings Date" and for "Next Ex Date"

Thanks

The documentation for the RCHGetYahooQuotes() function is in the
DOCUMENTATION folder in the FILES area of the group. It contains a list of
the Yahoo codes.

Unfortunately, neither "Next Earnings Date" nor "Ex-Dividend Date" are
things that Yahoo provides on their current quotes CSV interface.

Hello,

Now that earnings.com has moved and changed significantly, I'm trying to import the Yahoo Earnings Calendar into Excel. I'd like to pull in the entire calendar from yesterday, today, and tomorrow. So far I've tried countless combinations of PFinds and PDirs with RCHGetHTMLTable() but with no luck - all cells are either blank or full of errors. If anyone could help with what I'm doing wrong I would very much appreciate it.

My last try was array entering the following:

=rchgetHTMLTable("http://biz.yahoo.com/research/earncal/20130626.html","Earnings Announcements for",-1,"Earnings Announcements for",1)

Thanks

The problem is that your search string doesn't exist in the document. It
was coded as:

<b>Earnings
Announcements for
Wednesday, June 26</b>

...so it wraps and has other characters in it. Instead, try:

=RCHGetHTMLTable("http://biz.yahoo.com/research/earncal/20130626.html
",">Conference&quot;,-1,"",1)

Thank you Randy. I see (I think)...if I'm understanding correctly, the search string I enter has to match the entire string inside a > < pair... is that correct?

No. Just enough to be unique. Or use multiple search terms so that the last
one is unique and gets you to where you need to be.

The add-in strips out carriage returns and line feeds, so the actual search
for your term would have been:

=RCHGetHTMLTable("http://biz.yahoo.com/research/earncal/20130626.html",
"EarningsAnnouncements for",-1,"",1)

Hi,

Are there any spreadsheets to backtest stock performances?

No. The add-in is a tool for doing things like due diligence on a few
stocks, not for building databases for screening and/or backtesting.

Getting proper data for backtesting is very difficult, because you need it
to be "point-in-time", without a survivorship bias.

The best backtester I know is portfolio123.com.

Sounds like adding a third parameter may help?

Thanks for sending the link to the directions. Unfortunately, I am using office 2010. Is there a way to get this to work in office 2010?

I created a new folder called "SMF Add-In" in the directory "C:\Program Files\". Then extracted the file to the new directory folder.

After that I tried to install the add-in as directed by the Quick start: Activate and use an add-in: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/quick-start-activate-and-use-an-add-in-HA010370161.aspx It did say, You can use the same general process for installing and activating many other add-ins.

I went to File>Options>Add-ins> I had to browse "Ad-ins" and did not see it. I browsed the location and added it. The add-in showed up in the dialogue along with one other from Microsoft. . However, the add-in does not show up on the top of the add-in tab.

I tried the process again, and when trying to install the add-in I get a message saying the add-in exists in this location. Do you want to replace it? If I say yes, I get a message saying, cannot find the add in.

Any Idea as to why this is happening? And more importantly, how can I get this to work.

There's no reason it would show up on the add-in tab.

The SMF add-in is primarily a collection of user-defined functions.

An easy check to see if the add-in has been installed:

=RCHGetElementNumber("Version&quot;)

If this returns #NAME?, it's not installed. Otherwise, it should tell you
what version of the add-in you have installed.
