Can the Unit Price as of...... still be retrieved using RCHGetHTMLTable? Or is there a better way? The formula I used to use no longer works (not sure why). url is in a47. Formula is array entered.

https://www.nysaves.com/nytpl/fundperform/fundPerformance.do?fundid=1003020

=RCHGetHTMLTable(A47,"> Historical Prices",2,4,2) url is in a47. Formula is array entered (for three separate urls over 3 col and 3 rows).

thanks

Marty

I don't know what your "2,4,2" parameters are for. I'm not even sure what
you're really after?

This retrieved the table fine:

=RCHGetHTMLTable("
https://www.nysaves.com/nytpl/fundperform/fundPerformance.do?fundid=1003020",">Historical
Prices",1,"",1)

Or, is this the table you wanted?

=RCHGetHTMLTable("
https://www.nysaves.com/nytpl/fundperform/fundPerformance.do?fundid=1003020","
as of ",-1,"",1)

Or, if you'd like more history:

=RCHGetHTMLTable("
https://www.nysaves.com/nytpl/fundperform/fundHistorySearch.do?fundid=1003020&startDate=03/01/2013&endDate=03/31/2013
",">Date",-1,"",1)

Or, to just get just the "as of" price:

=RCHGetTableCell("
https://www.nysaves.com/nytpl/fundperform/fundPerformance.do?fundid=1003020",1,"
as of ")

Thanks. I will give it a try. I assume your example means that the formula will pull two spaces before the "trending_" reference.

Thanks again,

Sean
