The documentation for the functions is in the "Documentation" folder of the
FILES area of the group. And there are several entries in the LINKS area of
the group for information on smfUpdateDownloadTable.

smfUpdateDownloadTable is actually less efficient than the related
functions because it not only has to calculate the function, but place the
value in a cell. But since it saves a value, it does save you recalculation.

The 1000 web pages per session will apply to smfUpdateDownloadTable. I get
a little nervous when you talk about a large download. That's not what the
add-in is intended for.

Hi Randy,


First just want to say thank you for providing this superb tool for the public to use!


I just started using SMF and am having difficulties getting data from the datacodelist k1.


For example, instead of showing 522 as the share price, it shows this:


N/A - <b>522.00</b>

Thank you very much,
LY

Unfortunately, I don't think Yahoo is gets ECN data any more. So I'm not
sure how accurate or reliable the ECN data codes are..?

But it looks like they are putting HTML tags for a web page display of the
data, instead of returning raw data. Note that "k1" is supposed to return
time and last price, so the "N/A" is probably the time they put in when the
market is closed.

Thank you for the quick reply.


Do you suggest any way to retrieve share price?


I tried to use RCHGetElementNumber("Ticker&quot;, 25) with no luck.


The first ticker worked, but all subsequent tickers showed "error" as its value.


Thanks again,
LY

You should use the "l1" data code:

=RCHGetYahooQuotes("MMM","l1")

I obsoleted element #25 because MSN has been populating "Last Price" with
the previous day's closing price for well over a year now.
