Randy,

1) I entered JPM in the yellow box and nothing happened, even after hitting ENTER. How does one make use of this template?

2) Actually, I wish to have commands (akin to RCHGetQuotes) that retrieve the previous and next earnings report date for a number of symbols I have in a worksheet. Does your command set support that?

You should copy the formulas you need. This is what I see for the first few
lines if I put in JPM:

*JPM* *<=== Enter Ticker Symbol here*
*Reported Date* *Reported Time* *Fiscal Quarter* *Reported
EPS* *Estimated
EPS* *$ Surprise* *% Surprise* 10/13/2015 After Close 9/2015 $0.00 $1.40
-- -- 7/14/2015 Before Open 6/2015 $1.54 $1.44 $0.10 6.94% 4/14/2015 Before
Open 3/2015 $1.45 $1.39 $0.06 4.32% 1/14/2015 Before Open 12/2014 $1.19
$1.30 -$0.11 -8.46%
Those first two reported dates are formulas:

=RCHGetElementNumber(Ticker,1290)
=RCHGetElementNumber(Ticker,1295)

RCHGetYahooQuotes() is limited to fields offered by Yahoo's CSV file
interface. Neither of those fields is available on the Yahoo feed.
