Folks:
I have a simple 1-column Excel spreadsheet containing the ticker symbols of a variety of stocks. Now, manually I can go to a website (http://www.briefing.com/Investor/Pri...gsCalendar.htm) & individually type in these ticker symbols then wait for the printed results to displayed on a new window. Then I would copy the data of interest to me (a single date - yy/yy/yyyy ). Eventually I got to thinking there must be some way to automate this manual task using Excel or any other program. * Is there an Excel command (or some other technique) that can take input (stock ticker symbol) then submit this information to a specific website then extract the results (a date - yy/yy/yyyy) then finally return same to the excel cell ? Appreciate any informaton or ideas on this issue Thanks, John. |

John,
You can download and install the MSN Stock Quote add-in http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...6b57/msnsq.exe It offers a function that can extract different informational items about a stock, depending on the input parameter.
