I'm trying to pull the value in the row marked "Average" from this table "ARCC Dividend Yield (TTM) Range, Past 5 Years" on this page:


http://ycharts.com/companies/ARCC/dividend_yield



I'm using a formula like the below but its not working. Any ideas?


=(RCHGetTableCell("http://ycharts.com/companies/"&A2&"/dividend_yield",1,"Dividend Yield (TTM) Range, Past 5 Years","Average"))

In the recent example for getting data from Guru Focus, you used ASX:SHV


I'm assuming ASX means American Stock Exchange, can this also be used to get data fir the Nasdaq and the NYSE exchanges as well, and if so what symbol would I use?


Thanks for your response.

Randy, it seems there is an error with elements 13935, 13940, 13945, 13950. Looking at smf-elements-4, it is grabbing "Price/Sales" instead of "Dividend Yield %"

I am still with the latest Beta version.

Thanks for the heads-up. I uploaded a corrected smf-elements-4.txt file to
the "Works in Progress" folder.

Those elements are no longer valid. You need the latest version of the
addin.

Do we need to reinstall the add-in now that you have updated it?

"Randy Harmelink" rharmelink

Only if you want the updates...

Best practice is to exit EXCEL, download the file, unzip *all* files into
the add-in's folder, replacing files as needed.

Subject: [smf_addin] New official release of the add-in -- version 2.1.2014.01.30

I just uploaded a new official version of the add-in ZIP archive. It contains all the latest element definitions, as well as several new functions and fixed functions. I had been holding off on a new official release, waiting until AdvFN changed over to the new "Beta" format. But, given AdvFN's change process, that may take a while...

Thank you, Randy for the updated version. But now that I've installed it, my SMFGetYahooOptionQuote function is no longer working when I refer to a strike price in a cell that is formatted as number or currency.


I can get it to work if I put "OTM1" in the formula, but if I put in a cell reference for the strike of a Put, it generates "Error".'


Here is my formula: =smfGetYahooOptionQuote(D16,"P",DATE(YEAR($E$1),MONTH($E$1),DAY($E$1)),H16,"a"


Do you know why this is happening, and can it be fixed?

How a cell is formatted should be irrelevant. And whether it's a cell
reference or a number or a literal should be irrelevant. An EXCEL (or
user-defined) function would only use the value of the parameter.

Without knowing your cell values, I have no details to look at.

I just tried an example with both the literal "OTM1" and a cell with the
value of "OTM1". Both worked fine for
me. I even added a numeric format on the "OTM1" cell value.

But I will mentions that "OTMx" and "ITMx" are unreliable with Yahoo on web
page where they combine multiple expiration dates. It can also be
unreliable on equities with a small number of options, since the ITM/OTM
decisions key off of the shading Yahoo uses. So if there is no change in
shading, the function will fail.

I always use smfGetOptionStrikes() to determine my ITM and OTM strike
prices.

I probably should obsolete the "ITMx" and "OTMx" designations. Or change
them to use the smfGetOptionStrikes() function instead -- which would allow
it to be done for all sources, but slow down data retrieval times.

Hi Randy,


Okay, in the Members Uploads folder I put a file called test.xslx. It gets the quotes fine when I use it with the SMF version from 1/1/2009, but when used with the newest version it gets confused as shown in my earlier post. I didn't try every newer version, but the same thing happens with some of the 2012 versions. So something must have changed way back in time that I didn't catch. Thanks again,
Tony Estep

Your problem is the "Z85-L.T. TREND" string that you have in cell J1.
That's part of your B1:M1 range of Yahoo codes. Delete that and all is well.

I'm not sure what changed and caused that to become an issue, but it's not
expected... :)

THANKS, Randy! I put that up there as a note to myself, year ago, and for whatever reason it didn't clobber the quote fetching process until I updated. Thanks so much for taking the time to spot this!
