Hi, in Belgium system seperators (comma end point in numbers) are
the inverse as in most of the other countries (thousand we will
write as 1.000 and one and a half as 1,5) This is a parameter you
need to set on the country and language level of Microsoft OS. In
excel you have the option to reverse that again but this does not
seem to work with these functions.

Example: on the Yahoo site i see:
GDF SUEZ S.A. (GSZ.PA) -Paris
16.52 [Down]

which normally i would see in Excel as 16,52 but with the
function RCHGetYahooQuotes i'm getting 16525 without the decimal
sign.

Any idea how to solve this ?

VBA uses your computer system's regional settings. I only deal with U.S.
stocks and U.S. regional settings, so have no experience outside of that
for my programming.

There are a few items in the LINKS area of the Yahoo group, that others
have tried or suggested.

My personnal solution: in all the addIn, CDec(..) replaced with
CDec(Val(...)).

Dan,

Thanks for your excellent work. Just curious how do get the financials for different tickers. I had entered a new ticker in cell A1, but the numbers do not change.

Thanks for your help,

Mike

Enter the new ticker in cell A1. Then press F9 to recalculate the
sheet, or Formulas tab > Calculation Options > Calculate Now


I have it set to manual calculation since it's slow, and a pain
if you are making a few edits to have to wait for each one to
run.

You can set it to calculate automatically if you prefer:

Go to the Formulas tab > Calculation Options > Automatic




I was going to reduce the amount of data it pulls from GuruFocus
by calculating some data (why pull earnings, sharecount and EPS
since EPS = earnings/sharecount?) but at some point I had to get
back to my real job :-)

Randy,

Thanks for your reply. I figured I would fill everyone in on my
solution.

After a loooong internet search, someone was nice enough to
provide this fantastic solution for me from Yahoo! Answers:







I've created a node.js script for this.

1). Download 'node.js&#39; from http://nodejs.org/download/
<http://nodejs.org/download/> and install it.

2). Save the script pasted in
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=WDT05ebB
<http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=WDT05ebB> in the location where
you need csv files to be saved.file name can be something like
'finviz.com_exporter.js'

3). Create a schedule task to run the following command.
"node x:\path_to_your_location\filename.js"
Note that the file name should be same as the one you gave
earlier.

That's it!
CSV file will be named as 'finviz.com_DATE&#39;
(finviz.com_2013-7-30)

Slightly confusing (or maybe easier?) - the website has a link to
export a csv.

From this website: http://www.finviz.com/
screener.ashx?v=151&ft=4
<http://www.finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=151&ft=4>

It runs a stock screen and there is a link on the bottom of the
screen to export a csv (this is the link to download the csv of
the website screen): http://www.finviz.com/export.
ashx?v=151&ft=4 <http://www.finviz.com/export.ashx?v=151&ft=4>

My main goal is for this data to be downloaded somewhere
(preferably to Excel) on my desktop each day - even if I can't
get to my computer. Â The reason behind all this craziness
is that the website does not save historical data so I need to
pull it everyday and archive it myself.Â
My first try was with google docs but I don't know if that's the
best option.
I greatly appreciate the help for whoever is feeling generous :)
