I know this has been asked before, but not in this variation. Ideally,
a solution wouldn't require VBA knowledge.

What I would like to do is to use a web query to get historical
to-present stock quotes for multiple ticker symbols.

I am open to using any free source, be it yahoo finance, MSN, google,
or some other.

I really just need to be able to pick up the raw data.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have prepared for my use a macro which not only donwloads yahoo(indias
historical data and also chart it. the macro consist of main macro "daily
chart" in which I call another macro at the end "charting" .I am sending the
2 macros below. They may be clumsy but works

there are only two problems. in.finance.yahoo gives only about three month
sdata in the first page and rest in the next pages. My macro(s) download
only the firt page.
another problem is that in.finance.yahoo takes 24 hours to update. so today
(6 july monring) you will get only upto 4 july.

the macro dorps down an input box where you type the yahoo symbol of the
scrip.e.g.
cipla.ns. unfortunately yahoo in finance does not give historical data for
BSE symbols.
perhaps the macros can be tweked.
if you are interested I can send you my whole workbook as attachment if you
send me a personal email
