Yahoo Excel Cell Formula?

Discussion in 'Trading Software' started by bundlemaker, Oct 22, 2005.

  1. Some time ago I was using a spreadsheet that could grab certain bits of Yahoo finance data right from a cell formula. I can't find my spreadsheet and I can't find anything on the Yahoo Finance web site. Anyone know how to do this or have a link to Yahoo's instructions?

    Thanks
     
  2. im me I send you the code via email or download...
    P.S.
    it is not a cell formula however but VBA code
     
  3. oil trader,

    the way I had it set up was the cell contained a certain URL of Yahoo Finance, along with the symbol and a constant which specified the type of data (close, volume, float, etc)
     
  4. Thanks Spyder,

    that's what I was looking for!

    Hope all is well with you and your trading,

    Bob

  6. Hi, I saw your post and by coincidence have just finished making myself an online trade monitor sheet.
    I have uploaded it to my website on the downloads page if its any help to you.
    www.precisiontradingsystems.com

    If anyone knows how to make the updates more crisp, (as mine becomes slow once more than 20 symbols are added) then please let me know
     
  7. Can any one find a way to incorporate the IBD stock checkup into a spreadsheet?
    Thank You
     
  8. It should work the same as the example sheet I posted on my website, providing the tables in the webpage are accessable, the little yellow arrows will show what can be extracted and what cant.
    I posted up instructions for people to read, I dont know if you tried it?
    I am not a subcriber to IBD so I cant test it but if you send me your log in details to the email address on my site, I will try it for you.
    Or you can read the instructions on my downloads page on my site, www.precisiontradingsystems.com
