Hi Randy,
I want to extract cash flow data from this Yahoo page http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ABT/financials?p=ABT http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ABT/financials?p=ABT for example. There is a choice to show 3 types of financial data through 3 buttons. The page always open with the first option selected (Income Statement). In order to get the info I want the second button has to be pressed switching the page to Cash Flow. The third button leads to Balance Sheet data.
My question is: can I use a smf function to press the button to switch content and to search the data I want, please?

The add-in doesn't interact with a web page. It just retrieves the source
code of the web page. So, no, there is no button pushing.
However, the web page in question doesn't contain the data. It is
generated, after the data is retrieved via a JSON call. For example:
https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v10/finance/quoteSummary/ABT?formatted=true&modules=incomeStatementHistory,cashflowStatementHistory,balanceSheetHistory,incomeStatementHistoryQuarterly,cashflowStatementHistoryQuarterly,balanceSheetHistoryQuarterly
So, all the data can be extracted from there, but it is NOT a trivial
extraction.
FYI -- the above link is not returning data, and the web page you cited
below is empty. I'm sure both are just temporary glitches for Yahoo.
Hopefully, both will be working by the time you see this message.

Thank you Randy. Could you suggest a site more convenient than Yahoo where financial data can be extracted for free using your amazing add-in?

I prefer GuruFocus or AdvFN, if needing individual items, but MorningStar
has a CSV file -- see the "Tips and FAQs" pages for a link.
For those of us that are members at GuruFocus, they also have a
comprehensive XLS or CSV file available for download.
