but it does appears that yahoo does carry forex - simply typing AUDUSD=X in, you get results on yahoo
how is that different from any other yahoo finance data?

Check out this template in the files area:

RCHGetTableCell-Template-Pacific-Exchange-Rate.xls


But it can only go back about 4 years for data.


That source also produces a CSV file. For example:

http://fx.sauder.ubc.ca/cgi/fxdata?b=USD&c=AUD&rd=&fd=1&fm=1&fy=2012&ld=31&lm=12&ly=2013&y=daily&q=volume&f=csv&o= http://fx.sauder.ubc.ca/cgi/fxdata?b=USD&c=AUD&rd=&fd=1&fm=1&fy=2012&ld=31&lm=12&ly=2013&y=daily&q=volume&f=csv&o=

and for other currency pairs, it will give a number , but that number will not vary by date

I have been trying to get historical fx data as well but Yahoo doesn't
store historical FX quotes and have had to write my own VBA function using
a few of the different sources. Some of the most accurate and easy to use
sources are:

XE.COM (allows you to pull all the quotes for one base currency)
link example:
http://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=EUR&date=2013-10-02

X-Rates.com

Oanda.com

Hope this helps!

Yahoo doesn't store the data in a table like most other tickers. Most tickers have the historical prices page (http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=KO+Historical+Prices http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=KO+Historical+Prices) but the FX pages do not have historical prices. I would think because there is no exchange and actual FX quotes differ by Prime Broker.

Let me know if you want the code, I will upload the file to this group.

Current quotes, yes. But not historical.

If you just need current quotes, use the RCHGetYahooQuotes() function.

It's the RCH_Stock_Market_Functions-2.1.2013.10.17.zip file, in the "Works
in Progress" folder.

Hi Randy, I had been looking at a different company on the AdvFN site [uk region] and encountered the following message:

Newest quarter's financials are not updating correctly. Visit our beta financials http://uk.advfn.com/common/financial/NYSE/coca-cola-company-the-KO/full-financials?pm=Q to view latest financial statement.
Clicking on the <beta financials> link brought me to where the historical financial data was for that company and while I was still there there I typed in BLT in the quotes box. So I suppose to be fair to AdvFN it is beta data...



---In smf_addin@yahoogroups.com, <smf_addin@yahoogroups.com> wrote:

How did you get to that page?


If I go to uk.advfn.com http://uk.advfn.com and type BLT into the ticker symbol box, I end up here:

http://uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=qkquote&btn=&epic=BLT&symbol= http://uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=qkquote&btn=&epic=BLT&symbol=


...and I don't see any link to financial data. And if I click on the BLT link here:

http://uk.advfn.com/exchanges/LSE/B http://uk.advfn.com/exchanges/LSE/B


...I end up here:

http://uk.advfn.com/exchanges/LSE/bhp-billiton-BLT/share-price http://uk.advfn.com/exchanges/LSE/bhp-billiton-BLT/share-price


Also no links to financial data?

Interestingly, just to check one of the companies you mentioned, I searched for BLT on the uk.advfn.com http://uk.advfn.com site and here is the URL that came up:
http://uk.advfn.com/common/financial/LSE/bhp-billiton-BLT/income-statement?pm=Q http://uk.advfn.com/common/financial/LSE/bhp-billiton-BLT/income-statement?pm=Q

BLT is the ticker for BHP Billiton on the LSE and is also the ticker for Blount International on the NYSE. Advfn is confusing the two and wrongly shows the Blount International financial data for BHP Billiton!! So yes,the financial statements are there but they are for the wrong company! What is going on with AdvFN??

Thanks Randy


I think i was caught up thinking about tickers like ^GSPX, etc, and wondering if most functions could be made to play nice with that.... but yeah, for the basic indexes the ETF makes sense.

I would suggest using the ETFs based on the indexes. Then, it's a matter of what information you need. It used to be easy to collect data from Yahoo's ETF browser, but since they changed it, getting data from it is a nightmare. Things even seem to be missing.


CNN has a solid set of data:

http://money.cnn.com/quote/etf/etf.html?symb=SPY http://money.cnn.com/quote/etf/etf.html?symb=SPY


Or you could go directly to the source:

https://www.spdrs.com/product/fund.seam?ticker=spy https://www.spdrs.com/product/fund.seam?ticker=spy


Or MarketWatch:

I've been crawling through the RCH index of functions... but can anyone throw me a bone and let me know where I can get benchmark metrics like YTD total return, past year total return, index yield, etc. for S&P500 vs DJIA vs. FTSE vs. others? I suppose I could use 'tickers&#39; for the indexes but am unaware which ones will work. Any thoughts?

When I use the function to get the 50-day moving average for this mutual fund, it returns "N/A". But Yahoo certainly calculates and makes available the 50-day moving average for this fund. However the function call is only returning date for the 'Previous trade' and the 'Last trade'. Open, High, Low and 50-day SMA return "N/A". Should this be happening and what, if anything, can I do about it?

Thanks.

Well, open, high, and low don't make sense for a mutual fund, since they
only trade at the end of the day. So "N/A" would be appropriate.

And it looks to me like Yahoo doesn't compute the 50-day moving averages
for mutual funds, just for stocks and ETFs.

When I go to Yahoo! Finance and pull up FBIOX, then go to 'Charts > Interactive&#39; I can display the price of this fund over any period I choose, and also (under Technical Indicators) the SMA over any period I choose. So Yahoo most certainly computes the 50-day moving average. The question then, is where does it store this info.

I am sure this has been covered, but I can not find it anywhere - is there a way to pull Mutual Fund quotes with this add-in.

If so, how? Thanks.
