For w/e 2/13/15 and using finance.yahoo.com to check on symbol UNP (Union Pacific Corp), it shows for Div & Yield 2.20 (1.80%). However, if I retrieve the same information using RCHGetYahooQuotes("UNP","d") and RCHGetYahooQuotes("UNP","y", I get 1.91 and 1.54% respectively).

Please comment on the discrepancy in the data. How do I retrieve what is shown on the website?

The RCHGetYahooQuotes uses the CSV file to get the data. The information
returned is the trailing annual dividend/rate. The other information is
the forward annual dividend/rate.

The download for the SMF add-in contains a spreadsheet with element
definitions for use the RCHGetElementNumber function. You should be able
to find what you want in there.

According to your Element-Definitions spreadsheet, the Element Number 989 is the Dividend and 990 is the Dividend Yield. Using those numbers in RCHGetElementNumber("UNP",989) and RCHGetElementNumber("UNP",990), the data returned does not match what is displayed on the finance.yahoo webpage. This is true for a number of symbols and is not an isolated case as I have belatedly found.

1) For each symbol, how can one access what is actually displayed on the webpage, regardless if it is trailing, forward or current?

2) Perhaps a better source might be finviz.com. If so, how might one extract the data therefrom?

Closer, but still no cigar.

For Verizon (VZ), element Numbers 4924 and 4925 return 2.16 and 4.40% respectively.

finance.yahoo and finviz.com reports 2.20 and 4.50% respectively.

The element numbers I cited would only work for stocks, because funds don't
have "Key Statistics" web pages, which is where the data is extracted from.
Where on Yahoo do you see the dividend amount and ex-dividend date for
mutual funds? Or Google?

Data sources often display data differently for stocks and mutual funds and
ETFs, so you may need to use different extraction formulas. For some data
items, the same formula works. For other data items, no.

I suppose you could use Yahoo historical quotes, but that would only give
you the historical ex-dividend dates and amounts, not declared ones.

What to retrieve would depend a great deal on what you plan to do with it.
For example, you only mention dividends, but mutual funds can also have
capital gains distributions.

Oh - I didnt know that. I found the distribution data on Morningstar and
thought that Yahoo or Google would have the same. Sorry - I wasnt aware of
that.
