As an experienced Excel user (you all) for stock related creations how are you using Excel? Not trying to pry or copy anyone, I would just like to hear that Excel is still very prevalent and needed. I am planning on spending many hours learning on how to use Excel to create stock related worksheets and would like to make sure people still rely on it. Meaning there is a need for it. Another way to ask this is what are you using Excel for that you can't use on a website or another piece of software? Thanks.

Alex

You will need Excel if you plan to use the SMF Add In. However, there are
lots of great sites you can access to do a lot of research. Examples that
come to mind are stockcharts.com, stockfetcher.com, barchart.com.

As I've seen Randy often say in these sort of replies: There are lots of
sites that can be used to filter your selections. Then you should use the
Add-In (and Excel) to get specific info on the stocks that matched your
criteria.

Based on the questions you asked, I would strongly recommend you do some
more research on web sites, trading systems, etc. before diving headlong
into using the Add-In.

A spreadsheet is a very flexible tool for working with numbers and
organizing data in row and column format or graphical form.   Excel is
widely used in education, business and industry and learning to use
a spreadsheet like Excel is a basic life skill.
 
The SMF Add In is a tool for extracting stock market and non-stock
market data found on the web and organizing it in an Excel spreadsheet
for further manipulation and analysis.  You don't need Excel or the SMF
Add In for stock market analysis if you are satisfied with the way
data is provided and organized on the web. 
 
You might consider using one of the free spreadsheets to get a better
feel for what a spreadsheet can do for you.  The conceptual skills
learned in using one of the free spreadsheets will be generally
transferrable to Excel.  However, you will need to Excel if you want to
use the SMF Add In as the add in has been designed to work with Excel,
and not the other free spreadsheet products out there.

Hi,
If you buy any excel cookbook, it will give you practical examples. Going through a complete excel book might be tedious. With excel it is better to learn by trying to replicate a problem e.g VAR etc

Anant

Thanks
Brad, part of my problem is that even the most basic issue
like opening a macro or knowing how to edit a function is
new to me. Meaning I do not know how to do it. I hear you on
a class that it would be better, but I am limited to a book
for now. Best

I have
been using Excel for 20 years, so I can't really speak
to a book on Excel in general. I have looked at some books
- like the Excel 2013 Bible - and I think they are great for
getting started and also have good VBA info. I ultimately
decided not to buy because I didn't really have a use
for the Excel general knowledge and I have found that I can
Google any VBA topic I need to get info on and probably
figure it out better than a book. A Google search on
"Excel 2013, VBA [subject]" will get you more info
than you could possibly want probably 98% of the time.
I would
recommend updating to a more recent copy of excel. If only
because there is more info on the Interwebs on the newer
versions, and if you do get a book, it will cover the newest
version.
You might
also want to consider an online class, community college, or
something like that. Might cost a little more than a book,
but, if its a good class, you will learn tons more that you
will from the book.

Hello, looking at your website, it appears the official version is still dated for January 2014. When will there be a new version that has all the changes you have made since? Also, I according you your website, the beta version (RCH_Stock_Market_Functions-2.1.2014.10.23.B.zip http://ogres-crypt.com/SMF/Works-In-Progress/RCH_Stock_Market_Functions-2.1.2014.10.23.B.zip) has 0 size. Why is this? Thanks.

As far as the update, I've been for Yahoo to revert back to the new format
of their options pages. They still have the new format on Chrome and
FireFox, but not IE. That is, 2014.10.12.B doesn't work for Yahoo options
as they are currently displayed in IE.

As for the 0 size, my bad. I forgot to update the value.
