Dear Randy, I tried using this spreadsheet but I don't seem to be getting anything from it. it's probably the ticker format. can u give me an example for a US stock in MSN ticker format and a HK ticker format if possible? say HSBC which is 0005.HK in reuters ric, many thanks.
P.S. do you have an excel template for the MSN summary pages? like the Key Stats Page etc?

Andy, if you go to the website ( http://ogres-crypt.com/SMF ) which is listed at the bottom of each post and search the Templates folder for MSN you will find 10 hits.
One of them may have what you are looking for. But there are really only 3 hits. For some reason they are listed in 3 places

A template that shows the MSN 10-Year summaries of Key Ratio, Income Statement, and Balance Sheet items. Basically, this is just element numbers 153 through 352 shown in their web page context.

Sorry, but all of the MSN templates are now obsolete. They dropped so much
data when they revamped their web site last year...
The few times I've gone back to look at it, the new web page data wasn't
even available for the add-in to extract it. So I just kind of gave up on
them.
I just looked at the available web pages on MMM, and saw nothing of value.
Why "Key Stats" page are you referring to? I didn't see one.

If the MSN templates are obsolete, shouldn't you remove them?
Wouldn't it be a good idea to remove all obsolete files?

I've tagged them as obsolete in the descriptions. I don't really want to
remove them, because there still may be some value in seeing the type of
data they used to have and how it was presented.
And I kind of hope they may bring them back, but...

Randy,
I am having trouble getting a formula to work.
Here is the formula:
=RCHGetTableCell("https://www.theonlineinvestor.com/buybacks/aapl-buyback/",1,"$Amount Authorized:")
That works fine for AAPL.
So does: =RCHGetTableCell("https://www.theonlineinvestor.com/buybacks/gild-buyback/",1,"$Amount Authorized:")
Works good for GILD.
But if I use this for instance to find GLW:
=RCHGetTableCell("https://www.theonlineinvestor.com/buybacks/glw-buyback/",1,"$Amount Authorized:")
It does not. I am not sure why.
The only change is the stock ticker.
The page pulls up fine and the data is there but I can't seem to extract it.
I have tried other tickers (JNJ for instance) with the same result.
I know the case has to be lower in the URL to work. Uppercase does not.
I registered and can get unlimited page views.
Here is the source code if you need that as well.
For AAPL:

*Ticker* *Buyback Amount* AAPL $200,000,000,000.00 GILD $15,000,000,000.00
GLW $2,000,000,000.00 JNJ $5,000,000,000.00
I used this formula:
=RCHGetTableCell("https://www.theonlineinvestor.com/buybacks/"&LOWER(C5)&"-buyback/",1,"$Amount
Authorized:")
...and copied down. I did get errors when I refreshed, but it was because a
page was popping up to tell me I had a limit of 6 free page views.

Ok Thanks Randy.
Somehow the site puts a limit on 6 page views in Excel even though I have registered and can look at the website's pages as much as I want. Excel must not be able to get around the limit. Not sure why.
I will keep playing with it but I wanted to make sure I had the right formula.

Sounds like you may not have the security cookie created properly for EXCEL
and the add-in to use. Try logging in with the EXCEL Web Query dialog
(keyboard shortcut alt+d+d+w).

Yes I tried the web query sign in and that seems to help.
It doesn't work for all my tickers but most of them.
Do you know a good way to extract the date from the line above that says: OLI recorded this information on xx/xx/xxxx ?
I just want the date if possible.
I have this right now but it is not perfect:
=RIGHT(smfstrExtr(smfGetTagContent("https://www.theonlineinvestor.com/buybacks/"&LOWER($C4)&"-buyback/","tr",-2,"Company:"),"on ","<"),9)
It would be easier if I could just find a better site with buyback data to extract. Otherwise I might just have to keep a manual record of the web pages.

Although the results are going to be the same, I would have gone with:
=smfStrExtr(smfGetTagContent("https://www.theonlineinvestor.com/buybacks/"&LOWER($C4)&"-buyback/","i",-1,"recorded
this information")," on ","~")
The "~" is used to indicate either the start of the string (as the 2nd
parameter) or the end of the string (as the 3rd parameter).
You could also put a DATEVALUE() function around it to convert it to an
EXCEL serial date.

Hi Randy,
First off thanks for this wonderful Add In.
I'm having some problems today with YCharts. I'm extracting quarterly data from YCharts to an Excel table
using the following (where A7 obviously is the ticker):
=RCHGetHTMLTable("http://ycharts.com/financials/"&$A$7&"/income_statement/quarterly";,"Income (Quarterly)",-1,"",1)
It's worked perfectly until today... Now it doesn't return anything anymore. Any idea? Does the same thing happens to you?
Thanks a lot,
Yolande
