RCHGetYahooQuotes() can retrieve price, EPS, and Yield for up to 200 stocks
per function invocation.

But I'm not sure that is the question you are asking?

You can set the function up for 200 stocks, even though you are only using
the first 40 slots. Just add more stocks as needed. You can sort the ticker
list, but not the array-entered formula area. But once you sort the ticker
list, the array-entered formula area will update with the new values for
the new sorted range.

I'm not sure there is a good (free) alternative source to Yahoo, at least
of O/H/L/C/V data.

I don't really download data any more, preferring to let the online data
sources maintain the data.

I only download data for my hold/sell decision spreadsheet which I need to refresh everyday with todays prices and then modify per my rules. Unfortunately number of stks/mutfds followed has increased as I continue to track positions I once owned or am interested in. So it makes life much easier if I can download the days data rather than entering everything in manually. So I need a reliable free source that downloads time & date of price downloaded for each which Yahoo does a great job doing.

Keep up the good work.

I just uploaded a file called holdings lookup that I'm having several problems with:

1) I can't get anything beyond holding #11 even though each page shows 30 holdings.

2) I'm having problems making the spreadsheet dynamic with respect to dates of holding, i.e. see http://www.insidermonkey.com/hedge-fund/greenlight+capital/15/holdings/#/offset=0&ffp=2013-03-31&fot=7&fso=1 ...

and the drop down called Showing.

3) I'm having problems adding holdings from page 2 and on to the sheet.

4) There is a column entitled Activity that gives key information as a graphic on the page that doesn't show up on the spreadsheet. Is there a way to add this?

I appreciate any and all help.

1. The page only shows 30 holdings if you're logged in. You would need
to have created an IE security cookie for the add-in to access login-only
data.

2. The initial response for such a request is a 404 -- web page not
found. So they must be generating the web page AFTER that, which the add-in
then has no access to.

3. I don't see such an option, but I'm not logged in. Likely cause is
that they are generated web pages as well. Anything generated on the fly
will not be available to the add-in, since it extracts data from the source
code of the web pages.

4. I don't see a good example of it in use, but it appears you may need
to use the smfGetTagContent() function to grab the HTML coding of the table
cell and then parse and interpret it, as needed.

I tried plugging in the fulldisclosure link into the GetElementNumber like you did but what was weird is that it only gave me info for a few of the number (basically 1286 through 1291). I get errors for everything else.

Did you have the same issue or are there any suggestions you have? Thanks.
