I have another challenge, at this url http://205.166.161.12/oncoreV2/search.aspx?bd=1%2F1%2F2012&ed=9%2F11%2F2012&n=realcet&bt=O&d=9%2F11%2F2012&pt=-1&dt=D%2CAGD%2CEAS&st=fullname&vbt=M (you will have to enter the CAPTCHA code) there is a csv export link to retrieve the data. Is there a way to use the get csv data function to obtain this data, or is there a way to use another function to retrieve this data? Thoughts...?

I don't see a way to grab the export file with the add-in. It appears the
link actually creates the CSV file, instead of it downloading an existing
file.

Hi Randy,

I'm getting an error message with this function:

=smfGetAdvFNElement(ticker,"q",V$3,$B177,$A177)

V$3 is the period (numerical)
$B177 is INVESTING ACTIVITIES
$A177 is purchase of short-term investments

Any idea what's going on here? Seems all of the other functions on the page work fine.

Thanks

Which ticker symbol? Does it have the specified line item?

Thanks for the reply. It does it with all tickers. Just tried CHS then KIRK. Both came up "Error". As for the specific line item, I'm just using the line items on the AdvFN page. Same descriptions.

Just looked at CHS. This works:

=smfGetADVFNElement("CHS","q",1,"Investing Activities","Purchase of
short-term investments")

Note that there are TWO blanks between "of" and "short-term" -- that's the
label they have on the web page.

Yup. That did the trick. Just inserted the extra space, and Whala!

Great work!

Randy,

Since yahoo is no longer licensed to provide the file, is there another way to get the data?

Thanks

That can be answered any of a dozen ways, depending on exactly what data
you're going after...

In my case, I just use DIA instead.
