Hi Randy, I'm stuck. I'm looking to pull the rayout ratio off of the yahoo statistics page, such as this one.
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NLY/key-statistics?p=NLY https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NLY/key-statistics?p=NLY

but i could not. i tried defining an element 994 with this line in elements2.txt, but got errors.

994;YahooKS;Payout Ratio;https://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=~~~~~;2;FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS;PAYOUT RATIO; ; ;2;</table;0;0

any suggestions on how to get this piece of info as part of an updateDownloadTable operation.
thanks.
Mike

Can you use:

=RCHGetElementNumber("NLY",4929)

With smfUpdateDownloadTable, these all work for me:

4929
RCHGetElementNumber("~~~~~",4929)
RCHGetTableCell("https://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=~~~~~",1,"Payout ratio")
RCHGetTableCell("https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/~~~~~/key-statistics",1,"Payout
Ratio")
