Good day all, I would like to extract data from Financial Times, specifically the Interim Data. For instance on http://markets.ft.com/research/Markets/Tearsheets/Financials?s=KO:NYQ&subview=BalanceSheet http://markets.ft.com/research/Markets/Tearsheets/Financials?s=KO:NYQ&subview=BalanceSheet.
There is "Annual data" and "Interim data" on the webpage. However, looking at the page source, only the "Annual data" information is available. I can't seem to find the source of "Interim data".
Would appreciate any help on this.
Thank you very much.


Regards,
TC

Sorry, but I don't see a way to get a URL that gets directly to the Interim
data.

I see, thanks for letting me know Andy.

If anyone has it laying around and could email me a copy at some point (mickael28@hotmail.com), that'd be really helpful to help me starting...

Many thanks,
M

This seems like an obvious question, but I didn't see it answered in the tips and tried to do some searching to no avail. How can I get this thing to NOT recalculate so often? I'm getting serious delays, both when I start up and when I switch worksheets. I don't expect most of this data to change very often so it really doesn't need to keep refreshing.
Thanks for the wonderful tool!

The method depends entirely on what kinds of data you're getting and how.
Two common methods:

If you're using a lot of individual RCHGetYahooQuotes() functions, you can
combine them into a group by array-entering the function over a range. That
would allow you to get multiple data items on up to 200 ticker symbols,
with a single Internet access.

If you're pulling data from several web pages on a number of stocks, you
can look at using the smfUpdateDownloadTable macro (see "Tips and FAQs" for
more info). It fills cells with values, so then the only "recalculation" is
when you rerun the macro.

One of the thing I did for workbooks that are using a lot of individual RCHGetYahooQuotes() functions is create a macro to
Set calculations to automatic or manual. I then created a button in the instruction worksheet and assign the macro to it.
Each time you click the button it runs the macro a reverses the setting.
You don't really need the macro as you can do it from the formula ribbon and select auto or manual.
Personally, I find this better for me. I can set the workbook to manual before I close it and then turn it to auto once I am ready to update.

The macro is very simple.

Sub TurnCalculationOnAndOff()
Select Case Application.Calculation

Case xlCalculationManual
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
MsgBox ("Calculation is set to AUTOMATIC")
Case xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
MsgBox ("Calculation is set to MANUAL")
Case xlCalculationSemiautomatic
MsgBox ("Calculation is set to semiautomatic. No change will take place")
End Select

End Sub

I placed this at the top of the instruction worksheet


This workbook has a lot of calculations which may get updated unnecessarily while you are making changes. You can control the setting of calculations to Automatic or manual by clicking the button below. You can also use "F9" to force a recalculation. You can check and change current setting by clicking on the Calculation Options button on the "formula" ribbon.

Looks like it's because Yahoo has no historical data for it today...so, no
quotes, no need for currency type.
