Web queries & Yahoo! Finance
Just new here, but unless I've missed something, I'm surprised that there isn't a separate category on Excel's Web Query functionality. My problem is that I relied heavily on Excel web queries to access tables of data in my portfolios at Yahoo! Finance. In fact I could even say that I was financially dependent on that relationship for most of my investment activities (roughly 50% of my income). Then, about a year ago, the queries quit working. Even though I was logged in to Yahoo! Finance via my browser, the web queries I had in place suddenly produced a page expecting a login to Yahoo!, instead of the data tables that always appeared before. I've been sending emails to Yahoo! off and on for the past year, and they keep coming back with "we're aware of the problem and working on it". I have my doubts. Since it worked before, it should be an easy fix for them. But a year later and no resolution??? Has anyone out there experienced anything like this? Is it possible that there is a workaround? Without putting out big bucks for a commercial service, Yahoo! Finance has the best data that I'm aware of. That data plus Excel's web queries make it an unbeatable match. Any advice? -- cwhaley ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cwhaley's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31071 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=507483 |
