Randy,


I am trying to get 10 quarters of financials from Morningstar using your smfGetCSVFIle function. When I set the period to 3 for quarterly, I can only get the latest 5 quarters even though I have set the "columns" to 10. Changing this column number seems to have no effect on the output.


Thanks


Ken

10 periods are only available if you're a member and have created the
necessary IE security cookie, by logging in with either the EXCEL Web Query
dialog (preferred) or with IE.

Otherwise, the non-member default is 5 periods.

Hi Randy,
 
Sorry for asking question via email. I tried posting new topic but errors pop up:
1. "Sorry, an error occurred while loading the content.
2. "Could not send the message".
 
Just a quick one. I would like to download data from this website:
http://data.stats.gov.cn/workspace/index?m=hgyd
 
 
However, no matter how i change my data selections, the url remains the same. How may I find the true url behind, so that I can use smf to download different data by altering the url?
 
Thank you so much for your help.
 
Cheers,
Laurent

Some web pages, especially ASP, don't have "bookmarkable&quot; URLs. At least
not in a way I know about, because I'm not familiar with ASP web page
coding and techniques.

However, I can use my "Web Developer" add-on for FireFox, to change HTML
forms from "Puts" to "Gets", which sometimes will reveal a "bookmarkable&quot;
URL.

Thank you so much. I have installed the firefox addon accordingly, and have successfully changed the website form from "Posts" to "Gets". I still can't find any "bookmarkable&quot; URL. May you pls give me more color on getting it?  Thank you very much!!!

When you then *use* the form, the URL and its parameters should be revealed
in the address bar as you go to the requested page.

However, it doesn't always work. I would say about 50-70% of the time. Some
requests MUST be "Puts", so changing them the a "Get" doesn't work. And it
won't help on ASP pages.

Thanks. You said it works 50-70% time. Does it work for this website?
http://data.stats.gov.cn/workspace/index?m=hgyd
 
I tried to "use" it after converting it from posts to gets, but the address bar remains unchanged.
 
Thanks a lot.

I have no idea. I don't know what to do with the page.

Sounds like it doesn't though.

I wonder if URL Snooper would help:
http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/urlsnooper/

I use this to archive daily market videos but it shows all URLs that
pass through your network card.

Here are a few lines from that Chinese date site:

Hi,

I have just installed the add-in version RCH_Stock_Market_Functions-2.1.2012.12.29 and loaded the test file. The formula result is an error no matter which ticker symbol I use. I'm running Excel 2010 in Windows7. I have the sneaking suspicion that there's a setting somewhere blocking the formula from working. I have VBA enabled for Office. The macro setting in Excel is the default of asking me before running a macro (though I did set it to run all as a test and that didn't work). Any other basics that I haven't covered that might be my problem?

I have no idea what SMFAddinTest.xls is. There is no "test file"
distributed with the add-in.

The macro setting is irrelevant for add-ins.

You may get errors with some RCHGetElementNumber() elements with version
2.1.2012.12.29 files, because a lot of element definitions have changed
since then, because websites have changed their web pages. Updates for the
smf-element-*.txt files can be found in the "Works in Progress" folder.

Sorry if the test file was a red herring.

With the updated txt files, I got some results, so the add-in is
functional. It just seems to be the MSN-related elements that return
errors.

Thank you.

Rebooting help! Not sure why, but it did...
I also fixed to pull L3.

If we can make it hard, we seem to do that at times!

As always, THANK YOU for taking time to look at my questions.
I appreciate it.
