Retrieving stock quotes using concatenate

I've read most of the posts on downloading stock quotes and I haven't quite found the answer to my question, so here goes a new discussion...
I have a table of 57 ticker symbols that I follow. The table grows and shrinks regularly as I find new companies to follow and remove ones that don't meet my needs. Each ticker symbol is listed in column A of my DATA table and each row contains all the various data for that symbol. Here's a small section of that table as an example...

I've created a CONCATENATE formula to combine the ticker symbols into a single cell (C12):
=CONCATENATE(Data :: A3,",",Data :: A4,",",Data :: A5,",",Data :: A6,",",Data :: A7,",",Data :: A8,",",Data :: A9,",",Data :: A10,",",Data :: A11,",",Data :: A12,",",Data :: A13,",",Data :: A14,",",Data :: A15,",",Data :: A16,",",Data :: A17,",",Data :: A18,",",Data :: A19,",",Data :: A20,",",Data :: A21,",",Data :: A22,",",Data :: A23,",",Data :: A24,",",Data :: A25,",",Data :: A26,",",Data :: A27,",",Data :: A28,",",Data :: A29,",",Data :: A30,",",Data :: A31,",",Data :: A32,",",Data :: A33,",",Data :: A34,",",Data :: A35,",",Data :: A36,",",Data :: A37,",",Data :: A38,",",Data :: A39,",",Data :: A40,",",Data :: A41,",",Data :: A42,",",Data :: A43,",",Data :: A44,",",Data :: A45,",",Data :: A46,",",Data :: A47,",",Data :: A48,",",Data :: A49,",",Data :: A50,",",Data :: A51,",",Data :: A52,",",Data :: A53,",",Data :: A54,",",Data :: A55,",",Data :: A56,",",Data :: A57,",",Data :: A58,",",Data :: A59)
Returns to cell C12 the following:
AAPL,ACN,AFL ...  WMT,YUM
I then use the next formula to retrieve updated quotes from the Yahoo website:
=HYPERLINK("http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=" & C12 & "&f=snl1d1","Download Prices")
Once the quotes.csv is downloaded, I copy and past the stock prices into my Data table.
Now to my question:
Can the CONCATENATE formula above be simplified so that it's easier to add or remove cells?
If I add a bunch of new symbols to the Data table then I have to remember to add each new cell to the formula above. Or, if I delete a bunch of symbols then I delete the same number of cells from the formula.
This is a great example of the need for a range of cells in CONCATENATE.
Perhaps some programmer can get create and allow =CONCATENATE(Data :: A3:A59,",") where A3:A59 is the range and "," indicates an optional separation character.

You can implement like:
The top table is name "Download Link" and is a single-cell table.  The bottom table contains your ticker symbols and has a column which concatentates the previous list with a new sysmbol-- you can hide column B.
B2=B1&IF(ISBLANK(A2), "", IF(ROW() = 2, "", ",")&A2)
select B2 and fill down as needed.
In the top table "Download Link"
A1=HYPERLINK("http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=" & OFFSET(TickerTable :: $B$2, ROWS(TickerTable :: B)-2, 0) & "&f=snl1d1","Download Prices")
This takes the fully concatenated string from column B of the ticker table.  If you change the name of the tables adjust them in the formulas.

  • How do I retrieve stock quotes and populate a spreadsheet

    Hi
    I attempting to build a spreadsheet that will reach out and populate my list of stock holdings with the current price of the stock so that I don't have to do this manually.  Is this possible?

    Not with Numbers as is.  You could write an Applescript to retrieve the particular data and update the Numbers document

  • How do I automate Live Australian Stock Quotes (ASX) using Numbers 3.0 for a Share Portfolio?

    I have recently downloaded Numbers 3.0 on my Macbook Pro and wish to use it for tracking my Share Porfolio.
    Could anyone please provide advice of a simple way to automate live Australian Stock Quotes (ASX - www.asx.com.au) so I can track the daily price of the shares.
    Thankyou,

    If you can downloadfrom ASX quotes in a csv format (either comma-separated or tab-separated) you can import them into a Numbers table without much trouble.
    I don't think there is a way to fully automate the process. The workflow would be download from ASX, copy/paste into Numbers table or drag file onto the Numbers icon.

  • Ticker Symbol for S&P 500 for Stock Quote Widget?

    Anyone know what the ticker symbol is for the S&P 500 so I can see that in the stock quote widget which comes with OS X 10.4? I have searched Quote.com endlessly but cannot find it.
    When I search quote.com it says the symbol is $SPB, but when I try to enter that in the widget it tells me "no matching symbols".
    Help appreciated.
    thanks
    Paul D.

    I use INX for the S&P 500. That only gives the graphs but not the percentage though, so it's not the best solution.

  • Off topic - fetching stock quotes

    From where can I fetch stock quotes? I know it is not even related to java programming (except it is supposed to be implemented in java), but I don't even know where to begin... Please help??
    Regards,
    Nille

    Pete the Hat has a point. If you use a free source for a commercial project you can get in some hot water. After all, nobody wants to support the load of someone else's website since the extra hardware, bandwidth, etc. will cost big bucks... Not to mention copy right infringements with the data.
    With that said, if you are wanting to develop something for your own personal use, you may want to check out http://www.finance.yahoo.com. On most of their web pages for quotes they have an option to download the information as a CSV file. Look for the link that says "Download Spreadsheet" which is usually right before the text "Quotes delayed 15 minutes".

  • Excel queries to MSN MoneyCentral Investor Stock Quotes stopped working

    I update stock quotes in 3 spreadsheets using a query to MSN MoneyCentral Investor Stock Quotes. Three days ago (after using for 2 years) , the Refresh for Data
    Connection would not work, giving me a pop-up with "Unable to open...http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/excel/quotes.asp?SYMBOL =MSFT+ +CSCO+ +ABT+ +...etc"
    What is going on? Can we no longer get quotes from MSN?

    Create Your Own!
    First, navigate yourself to c:/program files/microsoft office/officeXX/queries.  The XX is either 12, 13, 14depending on system.
    Then copy the MSN Stock Quote file and paste.  Rename it YahooQuotes.  It will be an .iqy file (inquiry)
    Open it with Notepad and put this in it....
    WEB

    http://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/["QUOTE","Enter stock, fund or other symbols separated by commas."]/view/fv
    Selection=2
    Formatting=All
    PreFormattedTextToColumns=True
    ConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne=True
    SingleBlockTextImport=False
    Save it.  This will allow you to get the same data as from the old moneycentral into a table.  From there, you're on your own.  BTW, you can play with the "/view/fv" to get different columns.
    BTW, I know just enough to be dangerous

    Download data in text format from your online broker.
    Parse file for line with required stock.
    Use StringTokenizer for dissection.
    Convert data.
    Display in applet.
    I once had an application called MyTrader and they had all kind of data in their application for free. But I don't know if you can get at the raw data and not how up to date, but I think they were quite fresh.

  • Retrieve stock information to my flex application

    Hey guys ive been thinking about building an application where i can query for a specific stock. I looked at yahoo finance and at google finance api. However they just dont seem to make any sense to me. So here is the question. Do you guys know of a service, webservice ,where i can basically send in a stock ticker and recieve a response back with information. Though i know this is not a flex related question im trying to build this app in flex 4 and i like to be able to take advantage of any free services out there that i can leverage.
    Your response would be greatly appreciated.
    Miguel

    Yahoo runs a free web service to return stock quotes, indices, etc.  The CPAN module is well documented, and it has been ported to all sorts of other languages, such as Ruby.
    http://search.cpan.org/~edd/Finance-YahooQuote/YahooQuote.pm
    Google Finance also has similar capabilities, but the interface is somewhat harder to use and I have no experience with that.
    A few months ago, Yahoo pulled the Dow Jones Industrials index from their free web service, so it always returns "unchanged" now.  I think you can still get that from Google Finance's service.  Or scrape it from Yahoo's HTML.

  • OW4J Stock Quote Demo Configuration Changes

    Hello,
    In the last few days, the Delayed Stock Quote web service published by xmethods has been in a flux. The web service has been taken on and off the website. Today, thanks to Timothy, i noticed that they have changed the URL of the web service to http://64.124.140.30:9090/soap.
    Unless you change this parameter in the demo, you will be getting "504 Gateway Timeout" errors.
    To get the Stock Quote Demo working, please do the following:
    1. Open the StockQuote.jpr Project.
    2. Click on the StockQuote.xml process
    The structure pane shows the Structure of the Process
    3. Click on the SERVICE_PROVIDER_URL process activity attribute (processActivity1 being the process activity)
    4. Change the value on the Property Inspector to http://64.124.140.30:9090/soap
    5. Save the project and run the demo
    Cheers!

    THe Error is different now after the settings. Sorry for my earlier post. I am getting the following error message. DO I need to have some SOAP server running in JDeveloper ? If so pl. tell me how to start and configure the SOAP Server in JDeveloper. One more thing, I have the Embedded OC4J Http Server running in port 8988(default in JDeveloper), but inside the URI is configured in ProcessActivityAttribute property as http://localhost:9090. I am not able to understand. Please explain.

  • Stock Quote Spam

    Hi,
    I'm having an issue with a particular spam email. It never comes from the same domain, but always include a .gif file with a stock quote attached. I looked at the internet header to try and find something unique to base a custom signature. Here is the only thing I could find:
    MIME-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: multipart/related;
    type="multipart/alternative";
    boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0011_01C755CC.37E9B160"
    What would be the best way to resolve this issue? Thanks
    I also attached the .gif file

    Is the boundary always the same? I think the mime boundary can be anything, so if the spammer is using the same boundary value...that would be a good thing to look for and block on. The rest is pretty normal. You could certainly block on the gif if it's always the same too(either in name or content).
    Go into the IPS MC (GUI on the sensor) and select the 'signature configuration'. In the 'Select By' combobox enter 'Sig Name'. Then in the 'enter sig name' text box enter 'attach' and press find. There are some good examples of how to block email with certain attachments/content.

  • Stock quote download

    Hi, all. I'm new to Numbers and need to learn how to accomplish a stock quote download/import. In Excel I had specially created a menu item that would allow a column of stock tickers to have a column of quotes downloaded in a column to the right of the tickers. (The menu item could also be accessed by a keyboard shortcut, ^ L.) The created menu file in Excel had the suffix XLA. Is there a way to use the XLA file in Numbers? If not is there a way to create menu items?
    Thanks for any input. Bruce

    xla are hidden add-ins. usually containing VBA code that added your menu commands when you load the xla file, and contained the code that those new menu commands ran to get your stocks.
    (I write xla's for a international investment firm in my day job)
    This functionality is not built into numbers yet. If it is the kind of thing you would want to see in the next version, use the "Submit feedback" option in the numbers menu.
    hope this helps explain why it won;t work here. So how to get something to bring in your stocks? Well, you could try copy and paste from a stock page, or find a stock site that will let you download a text file of the stock info and open that up in numbers.
    Hope this at least helps explain,
    Jason

  • Stock quote rate and time in a small portlet

    Hi Gurus,
    Is there any website from where I can get the stock quote of my company and show it in a small 1 inchX1 inch size portlet. I don't want to show the entire content of the page. I just want to show the quote rate and time. I have tried Yahoo, Quote, Nasdaq. I have tried to use Web clipping portlet to grab that part alone. They have some script calls from that area to the other part of the page. So, when I open the portlet, it gives me the pop up script error. Gurus, Can you post a reply if you have any idea about this.
    Thanks
    Raj
    -------

    You can use the Web Page data source in OmniPortlet. There are also various Stock Quote Web Services or XML feeds that can be used with OmniPortlet.
    If you need more information, please post your question to the PDK forum.

  • Stock Quote Query still not working in Excel for Mac 2011

    I've been following this thread and like many others, stock quotes in Excel for Macintosh 2011 stopped working for me shortly before Christmas.  While I've noticed that it will work on my work computer which is running windows 7, I can not get it
    to work at home on my mac, even when I use the same .iqy file as on the pc.  I am at my wits end.  Can you offer any help?

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • Webservice example - Get a stock quote

    Some time ago I saw an example of getting a selected realtime stock quote into an Xcelsius dashboard. Can somebody point me to a resource that could teach me how to leverage existing XML code to use for my webservice example?
