MSN data working?

Hi Randy. I just unearthed an old file that uses the SMF addin (all or almost all data drawn from MSN) and it wasn't displaying any data - not even simple stuff like last price (element 25). So I downloaded and installed the latest addin version, but with the same results - nothing.

I'm wondering if maybe MSN changed their page since the last definitions document? Any ideas? Is it working for others?

Thanks for any help you can offer. Much appreciated.

Thanks so much. I used to be a big fan of the Motley Fool's Foolish 8 Scorecard available on Quicken.com, until they took it down about 5 years ago (maybe longer now...). Anyway, I tried to re-create it using your add-in. It's a big time saver for my screening process.

I uploaded it to the group. Maybe someone will have suggestions for improving it - and hopefully someone else will find it as useful a screening tool as I have.

Clark -

Here is one that will work with the "N/A" error.  You can change the "--" to "" to get a blank cell.  You are array entering this, aren't you?

=IF(rchgetyahooquotes($A7,"ny")="N/A","--",rchgetyahooquotes($A7,"ny"))

Probably my Excel skills are too elementary and Google has helped.

have a sheet that pulls all sorts of data using the add-in, and for some
fields when negative (earnings) or non-existent (FCF), it pulls a "#VALUE" or
"N/A".

>>I would like to write a formula that would just leave the cell
blank if these values are pulled. I used some IF commands in other cells but
can't see how to use this with the add-in cells.

>>An example formula
which is simple:
>>
>>=RCHGetYahooQuotes($A7, "y")
>>
>>This pulls the
yield for ticker in cell A7. Right now that is NVDA with no yield. I get
#VALUE. How can I modify that cell to leave it blank, until the day the NVDA
has a yield? Many thanks in advance.

Not recommended. That means you would have two Internet accesses for each
good data item...

I don't do it.  I knew there was some reason I didn't.  I normally pull in all my Yahoo data in an array on one tab, normally named Web_data.  Then I use Vlookup or Index/Match on another Tab.  That way I can sort, filter, etc.

Yup. That gives you the best of both worlds -- the quickest way to actually
retrieve the data, but also have the ability to manipulate it.

why do I get an error with =RCHGetYahooQuotes(ticker1,27)
trying to retrieve 3 month return.

That function invocation should return nothing, because there is no Yahoo
code 27 available from Yahoo. Nor Yahoo codes 28 and 29.

Most probably you are talking about the RCHGetElementNumber() function? If
so, see:

Well, that was embarrassing.
Ok, I have the element text file you directed me to.
What do I do with it.
Do I just put this file in my smf_addin file and delete the elementnumber file I already have?

Pretty much.

You should exit EXCEL. Replace the file in the add-in folder with the newly
downloaded file. Restart EXCEL.

New element file

Sat Jun 9, 2012 1:36 pm (PDT)



Randy , I still get an error when I use the formula =rchgetelementnumber(ticker1,27)

I followed your instructions.

I deleted everything in my smf_addin directory then went to the group website in the in-process file and retrieved the new smf_add in file.
I chose the xls file not the text file which you directed me to.

I unzipped the file and it was placed in my smf_addin directory.

I find that all my other element numbers in my worksheet are being updated. But, I still can't get 27,28,29 or 25

I at a loss.

What do you get with:

=RCHGetElementNumber("Version")
=RCHGetElementNumber("MMM",25)
=smfGetAParms(25)

Hi Randy, quick question. I'm new to your group and tried to download addin. Have not completed it but now when I try to open any excel program on my mac it will not open and brings up a box that says project on top which i believe is related to the addin. Do you know how I can delete what I've done at least for now so that I can use my excel files etc? Thanks very much, Lee

I know almost nothing about Macs. But just downloading the add-in shouldn't
do anything to EXCEL.

Or, since it's already defined, you could use the built-in function RCHGetElementNumber("MMM",543). --Gary

Some Element Numbers Not Working

Posted by: "ro.valen" ro.valen@yahoo.com   ro.valen

Sat Jun 9, 2012 11:28 pm (PDT)



Good Evening All,

For the last couple weeks I have noticed that a few Element Numbers have been producing error results. Below is a list of the elements with their corresponding numbers. They used to work, but perhaps they have changed. Has anyone else had similar issues? If so, can you please suggest a fix?

Field Name Element Number
"Last Price" 25
"200 Day Moving Average" 36
"52 Week Low" 33
"52 Week High" 34
"Dividend Rate" 46

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ro
