I notice that the google workaround - which is 99% better than Yahoo - does not bring in mutual fund quotes. Is there a solution to this?
Thanks Again

Try:

=smfConvertData(smfGetTagContent("https://www.google.com/finance?q=
"&A1,"span",1,"price-panel";))

Hi Randy,

Thanks for this. I was working on how to get my prices from Google instead of Yahoo.

When I try this line you gave on a regular stock ticker, I get back other characters in addition to the price.

<span/id"ref.656809 l">2.57

(This is for ticker: GURE and the current price is 2.57)

How does this need to be modified for a regular stock?

Thank you!

Jim

The formula I gave isn't intended for stocks and ETFs, just for mutual
funds. Google presents the prices differently.

You should use the previous formula in this thread for stocks and ETFs.

Thanks very much,

The three sites you mention don't look good to me, nor fit your own
criteria...

-- divdata.com had no mutual fund data and an outdated ex-dividend date for
MMM
-- dividendchannel.com had a 6-month old ex-dividend date for SPY
-- dividend.com had a different extraction process for MMM and SPY, and no
mutual fund data

I'm getting errors trying to retrieve elements 13879 - 13889 using RCHGetElementNumber. I suspect getting any data from Zacks maybe an issue. Are you aware of issues trying to retrieve these elements.


Thanks,


Chuck

You will need the updated element definitions to get Zacks data. They
changed their website recently:

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/smf_addin/conversations/messages/24294

Several of those elements were obsoleted.
