Nothing special:

=RCHGetTableCell("http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/Stock/ASII/financials",1,"EPS
(Basic)")

On Monday Sep 23, 2013 I was running an update on moving averages
from www.barchart.com and it was working fine until in the middle
of the process I kept getting "Error" values. I checked and this
occurred for RCHGetElementNumber() numbers 701--717 and
1146--1284 for all stock symbols I tried, even ones that had
worked just minutes before. I am using Windows XP, Excel 2000,
and the most current SMF version. My internet connection is OK.





I then tried going directly to the barchart web sites. It seems
something has changed on www.barchart.com (I also tried the
addresses used by RCHGetElementNumber()) or perhaps they are
blocking IPs. I get the web page that shows the message at the
end of this reply. That explains why I keep getting "Error" when
attempting to retrieve data from any "barchart"; web site. I also
get all "Error"s from all the Barchart templates.




Have others had this problem beginning Sep 23, 2013? Is there a
workaround that anyone has found?

I just tried these templates:

SMF-Template-Barchart-Market-Momentum.xls
SMF-Template-Barchart-Technical-Indicators.xls

....and both worked fine for me. Their source pages, similar to:

http://www.barchart.com/opinions/stocks/MMM
http://www.barchart.com/stocks/momentum.php

...both work fine for me in FireFox as well.

Were you using the add-in to access a large number of web pages on their
site? I don't know if they are blocking you or not. Can you access their
home page?

I just tried again using your links via the internet or with the
SMF function and still get the 403 Forbidden message and "Error".
I had never had a problem downloading moving averages for a
greater number of stocks with the same spreadsheet from their
site (I think all the moving averages for a stock are on a single
web page). I only renew them every few months.





Since others can access the site I'll have to presume that my IP
is blocked. I'll try again in a week or so and use other sources
for now. If I get back on their site, I will limit the number of
stocks accessed at any one time. I don't know if this is
peculiar for barchart.com to block access. The same number of
stocks has run fine on every other site I use for over 5 years.
But...things change...

I did get access to barchart.com&#39;s Terms of Use page





http://realtime.barchart.com/agreement.asp



"You may not use any data mining, robots, or similar data
gathering and extraction tools on the Content"

Perhaps my access with SMF was interpreted as a robot and my IP
was blocked. It seems use of SMF for access to their site may
have to be limited so as not to appear as a robot. I have no
idea what their limits or algorithms may be in making that
decision. But if one is accessing their site with SMF, it seems
you may have to be frugal in using it.

If Kermit W. Prather in the original message used the technical
template first it probably worked. But then using the other
templates a short time later triggered the "robot" algorithm. If
he had not accessed barchart.com before using the templates, then
it seems that the threshold may not be very high for being id'd
as a robot. It would be interesting to see if Kermit can access
barchart.com with a browser if the "Error" is still being
returned for the templates.

Hey ML, thanks a lot for your different attempt. Just a quick
question on your template....how does your exceptions table work?
For example, I tried to pull 20 quarters of data for LQDT and
INWK. Both of those companies have the "mm" and "inc" issues in
the URL. If the URL is not correct, it looks like it defaults to
the non-full history site so I'm only able to pull the last 4
quarters. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks again for
all your efforts!

The "Upload by Members" section now has my attempt at working
with ADVFN's new website and data. It has data for the trailing
12 quarters as well as the last 10 years. It shouldn't be too
hard to adjust if you want more or less quarterly or annual data.
Teasing the exchange and the company name ADVFN uses in the URL
from the smfGetWebPage function took an obnoxious amount of text
parsing. In the end, I had to set up an exceptions table for
when the parsing just didn't provide the correct company name.
Its not elegant, but its not overly burdensome, either. On the
other hand, every single bit of data is pulled using the
RCHGetTableCell function, so any recalculations take a bit to
complete. Those with older computers beware??

Check the "Location errors" item in the LINKS area of the Yahoo

the add-in.

That's my problem, the spreadsheet won't recalculate when I enter
a new ticker.

F9 changes the company and exchange info cells as well as the URL

error codes.

I noticed the spreadsheet uses C:/SMF for the Add-in location, I
created that. I've had the add-in installed at C:/Program

active in the Excel Options.

Any clues why the data doesn't update?

My ADVFN spreadsheet is updating correctly with one exception.
Data for about 10 rows for year 2003 (column B) was not updating
until I removed the phrase '.value&#39; from within the formula. You
can look at the other yearly columns to see the error.

Anyone having trouble with this model lately? It was working
fine for me just yesterday and today it is not pulling in any
amounts. My sheet is on auto calculate and the addin is
correctly installed because I'm also pulling MSN data. Just
don't know what's happening.

Thanks for such a useful spreadsheet!!!
