I am trying to get historical index quotes from BigCharts. I have searched
the element definitions in the RCHGetElementNumber documentation
spreadsheet and can find no mention of BigCharts. Does any SMF add-in
support historical quotes from BigCharts?

It just gives you data one day at a time, right? If so, just use the
RCHGetTableCell() function. For example:

=RCHGetTableCell("
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/historical/default.asp?symb=DJIA&closeDate=10/30/2014",1,"Closing
Price:")

I would not have known to use the function that way from the function documentation, so many thanks!

This leaves me with one problem. I want to use cell references to construct the date. I have tried to use something like C language concatenations to build the URL but it doesn't work. This is what I tried:

=RCHGetTableCell("http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/historical/default.asp?symb=WFBDC&closeDate="Month(A21)"/"Day(A21)"/"Year(A21)"",1,"Closing Price:")

Can you suggest a method to dynamically build a URL, or any quoted string for that matter, that can be substituted into a cell formula?

Thanks for your help.

With both ticker symbol and date as referenced cells:

=RCHGetTableCell("
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/historical/default.asp?symb="&B7&"&closeDate="&TEXT(C7,"mm/dd/yyyy"),1,"Closing
Price:")
