I'm getting 'Error' messages for the following 'RCHGetElementNumber' codes:

1 - Company Description
33 - 52-week Low
34 - 52-week High

I think this may be due to the new MSN format. What are the easiest replacements for these codes?

Thanks much for any assistance.

Yes, MSN elements are probably all obsolete now.

52-week low and high are within the Yahoo Key Statistic web page elements.

For company description, see:

Hm, but how do I get Excel to find the JSON request on that page? It does not show up in the source code, yet it does show up when hovering over the arrow at the bottom...


The thing is the screener criteria are variable (I select them as needed in Excel), and the URL I construct is therefore variable, meaning the JSON request will also be variable depending on which criteria I select.


I would probably have to create a screener with all the screener criteria selected and then use a URL sniffer like you did to see how the criteria are coded in the JSON request, then use that to construct the JSON url in Excel rather than the basic URL...

I don't see any way to automate it fully. Just, once you've created the
screen, you might be able to rerun it at any time in the future by saving
that JSON URL...

All I was saying is that by copying the URL, you wouldn't need to use the
URL sniffer.

Hey Randy,

Industry & Sector now return error:
Your :Fixed elements #13822 thru #13861 on smf-elements-2.txt, because Yahoo
changed their Market Statistics web page."
Got right up near. I looked at the page, but could not figure out how to
best fix things. The data is there on the page.

Maybe there was a post earlier, but I can't find it.

Thanks!
Pete

Not sure what to tell you -- elements #13865 and #13867 are working fine
here, for ticker symbol MMM. I don't think those element definitions have
changed since I created them.

Hi Guys,
I joined awhile ago, but I really want to dig into the power of this tool. Does anyone have any stock screener examples that they wouldn't mind letting me take look at to get some ideas and see how all these codes work? I would really appreciate it.

The add-in isn't a screening tool, but a data retrieval tool. You'd need to
retrieve too much data to use it as a screening tool, which would be an
unfair burden on the free data sources.

Check over the function documentation. Each should have at least one
example of using the function.
