Suppose that I have 100 stocks which update every day, or so. I can
easily (using manual methods, which I don't mind) cut and paste the symbols of these 100 stocks every week. Example: SHLM IOSP LFUS ASEI KAMN GIFI However, I'm also interested in tabulating their Analyst's Ratings from the following website: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ao?s=SHLM for the first stock with symbol SHLM. How do I automate the process of parsing information from websites like: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ao?s=IOSP http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ao?s=SHLM http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ao?s=LFUS http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ao?s=ASEI ? I know how to parse the desired information by importing data, but the downfall with this is that I have to create a new query for every stock symbol. I don't want to do it this way, because I always put in ~100-200 new stock symbols every other day. I think that the better way to do this is to concatenate the website addresses as: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ao?s= (which is found in Cell $a$99) + "STOCK SYMBOL" (which is found in cell A2). On that particular website, parse the needed information in the dialog box, which happens to be 3.0 for IOSP. |
