Hi everyone. I've been struggling with a formula for gettablecell to retrieve a value from the OIC.
Here's what I have been trying.
I have a cell named URL which contains the string:
"http://oic.ivolatility.com/oic_options.j?cnt=439bf52d9db85535153e900f516f3a6a1e69b08e224cc574&ticker=HOG"
I want the current 30 Days Historical Volatility number (amongst others, but I'd be happy to get just one)
I've tried:
rchgettablecell(URL,1,"HISTORICAL","30 Days")
rchgettablecell(URL,12,"HISTORICAL")
and several other possible usages, including some using the ROW option, but all return "Error".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bob.

If I use your URL, I get a web page "Not Found" error. Because the "cnt="
is a security tag assigned to a session, so it will only be active a short
time, and probably not across different browsers.
However, I've found that once you have created the security cookie, you no
longer need the "cnt=" parameter.
Have you looked at the smfGet888OptionQuote() function? 888Options.com uses
the same iVolatility frame to display data (not sure how you got there,
since they have a number of portals into their data). But, once you use the
EXCEL Web Query dialog to get an option quote on 888options.com, you will
have the necessary iVolatility security cookie created and can use the
function. For example:
=smfGet888OptionQuote("HOG",,,,"hv10c")
=smfGet888OptionQuote("HOG",,,,"hv30c")
=smfGet888OptionQuote("HOG","C",DATE(2015,11,20),45,"b")
If you use it on equities that have a lot of contracts, such as SPY, it
will be VERY slow since it retrieves everything on one big web page.

Thank you Randy, this is amazing. I had no idea get888optionsquote already has everything I need. You
have saved me a ton of trial and error work.
I can't tell you how beneficial your SMF's have been to me.
Many Many thanks !
