IBD data

I was able to get the add in to work well with yahoo data. I have a worksheet that also is supposed to get IBD data. Two of the data fields populate when I refresh and about 25 do not.

The fields that populate are "EPS Rating" and the first leader of the industry groups.

Any idea on how to get the rest of the fields to populate?

Return text not cell referrence

I apologize for such a simple question but I have been looking for the answer for about four hours now.

I am building an adjusted price to book spreadsheet and I am trying to make it so I get text instead of a cell reference.

The ticker symbol "IDSY" is in B2 and I am getting an error

=RCHGetTableCell("http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=B2+Balance+Sheet&quarterly",1,"Cash And Cash Equivalents")

How do I get the text from B2 to show up in the function?

Thank you.

Just normal EXCEL string concatenation:

=RCHGetTableCell("http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s="&B2&"+Balance+Sheet&quarterly",1,"Cash

Hello Randy,
Thanks for your prompt reply. What does the "td" stands for the formula below 
=smfGetTagContent(...URL...,"td",...counter...)

I put "td" as it is and it is returning #VALUE!

Regards
Aku

I was able to extract data from both pages, using either RCHGetTableCell() or smfGetTagContent() functions.

It's easy enough to try --- just do something like:

=smfGetTagContent(...URL...,"td",...counter...)

...and varying "...counter..." from 1 to n to see what is in the various table cells on the web page.

It's just a literal for the HTML table cell tag. Did you use the proper
double quotes to delimit the string?

hi,

am wondering if there is a formula to use , in order to add in a cell of an excel the profile summary of a company listed in a stock exchange.

You'll need to be more specific. The mention of "in a stock exchange"
confuses me, as if it should mean something other than the normal.

Otherwise, you could search the message archives of the group for "business
summary" or "profile", which can come from multiple data sources.

Yahoo "high" quotes not working?

Posted by: "Bellawala" bellawala@yahoo.com   bellawala

Fri Aug 5, 2011 1:15 pm (PDT)



Hello,

when I use the following statement: =RCHGetYahooQuotes( "MSFT", "ovghl1", , , ), the 4th value, high, always returns N/A. It does this for all symbols that I try. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? This is in a spreadsheet that I have been using for a long time and have not changed.

thanks!

"N/A" means that is what Yahoo is currently populating the field with.
Nothing the add-in can do about it. Hopefully a temporary issue.

I think there is a larger problem with Yahoo quotes in general. if you create a spreadsheet like:

IBM | =RCHGetYahooQuotes(A2,"l1",,NOW())

Then copy those to cells down 10+ rows you will get different values! If you hit key F9 the numbers change. Do this after market hours when the numbers should be stable.

I am also seeing something similar on my Windows7 Desktop Gadget Market 3.4 where the numbers jump around between different requests. So on one query I get one number and on the next I might get the same or a different value.

I'm wondering if maybe we should be looking at using another service? Does google have an API? or maybe Finviz?

Just tried it, and I got consistent values over the 10 rows, even with
hitting F9 several times.

I don't know of another data source with a Yahoo-like API for getting
multiple quotes/data items.

Randy,

Thanks for your reply, so now I'm wondering why I have this problem.

This first table is built using:
=RCHGetYahooQuotes(A2,"l1t8c1p2yq",,NOW())

IBM 172.98 193.5 1.5 0.0087 1.57 May 6
IBM 178.05 193.5 -2.7 -0.0149 1.49 May 6 <<<
IBM 178.05 193.5 -2.7 -0.0149 1.49 May 6 <<<
IBM 172.98 193.5 1.5 0.0087 1.57 May 6
IBM 172.98 193.5 1.5 0.0087 1.57 May 6
IBM 178.05 193.5 -2.7 -0.0149 1.49 May 6 <<<
IBM 172.98 193.5 1.5 0.0087 1.57 May 6
IBM 172.98 193.5 1.5 0.0087 1.57 May 6
IBM 172.98 193.5 1.5 0.0087 1.57 May 6
IBM 172.98 193.5 1.5 0.0087 1.57 May 6
IBM 172.98 193.5 1.5 0.0087 1.57 May 6
IBM 172.98 193.5 1.5 0.0087 1.57 May 6
IBM 172.98 193.5 1.5 0.0087 1.57 May 6

and this is built use the example I gave you:
=RCHGetYahooQuotes(A16,"l1",,NOW())

IBM 178.05 <<<<
IBM 172.98
IBM 178.05 <<<<
IBM 172.98
IBM 178.05 <<<<
IBM 172.98
IBM 172.98
IBM 172.98
IBM 172.98
IBM 172.98
IBM 178.05 <<<<

The numbers I get are always consistent for example 172.98 or 178.05 in this case for IBM also notice in the table above that other numbers are wrong also.

Since I get this with both smf and with my desktop gadgets, I'm guessing it is not a problem with smf but with something else. Any thoughts on what or how to trace this done so I can fix whatever is wrong.

I would suspect that you have your Internet Options set up to cache web
pages, which means the add-in will retrieve those cached web pages instead
of getting a new copy of the web page each time. See this item from the
"Links" area of the group:

http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/smf_addin/message/13523

That would also affect any "gadgets" that use the Microsoft Internet engine
to retrieve web pages.

Randy,

A little more info on this. I downloaded HTTP Spy .NET and looked at the requests and responses. All the requests are identical like this:

GET http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=IBM&f=l1&e=.ignore HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; CMDTDF; .NET4.0C)
Host: download.finance.yahoo.com
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
Cookie: B=2273i9573olbk&b=3&s=a8

and all the responses look like one of the following two responses:

I tried to log the desktop gadget but it does not seem to be using .NET for the HTTP requests because they are not caught by HTTP Spy.

Any thoughts on what the Cookie is for? How can I delete the cookie.

I reset my internet options per the message referenced below and cleared the internet cache, and was able to delete the cookie using HTTP Spy, but I still am getting the same behavior. I get a new Cookie after I delete the Cookie, but it does not change the behavior.

The internet cache option should not really matter if IE is honoring the: Pragma: no-cache in the request header. And the response header also has:

Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache

BTW, 178.05 was the closing price of IBM on Aug 2nd.

But I'm baffled...

Hey, I tried to use this formula, and all I had returned was "Ticker Symbol". Why didn't I get the data?
Thanks

I suspect you entered the function in a single cell instead of
array-entering the function over a range?
