Stock quotes to Numbers

In Google Docs, I can put a reference in a cell which will import a stock or option price from Yahoo Finance. Is it possible to do this in Numbers 3.5.2?

No, you can't enter a formula that will retrieve data from Yahoo! Finance.
But you can use AppleScript, and get your information at a click of a button.

Pulling Stock quote into Numbers

Hello all, after searching Google and Apple, I decided to just post a question. I am looking for a method of pulling a stock quote into Numbers. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you....

The only soluce it a copy paste from the source web page.

My first try to get Stock Quotes into Numbers...

Ok, I heard alot of people asking over the past year for a way to pull stock prices into Numbers. So heres my first public applescript. I just figured most of this out over the past day.
There is a zip file that contains the template file with the pre-made sheet and table in it. You can then base any additional tables off that data that you wish to. The script looks for a table of a specific name with a table named Stocks. Symbols in column A starting in row 2, and it places the price in column B.
I posted it on the Numberstemplates website:
Grab Stock Price
This is my first attempt at an applescript, if any gurus want to assist and show us a better way of doing it, please let us know so we can all learn.
Thanks alot everyone,
Jason

we found some errors that had to do with interfacing with Safari. Some very nice people on the applescript page got me some answers on how to approach it better. Believe it or not, we made such great changes to the original, that I now consider it to be at v3.5
It is completed as best I can test on my machine, On a dual G5 2.0 with 1.5 Gb ram runs at about 80 symbols per minute (up from ~10/min using safari only). I would love to hear how it works for you. Please leave comments on either this site or the one I posted it on. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I can only test from home, so I do not know how well it works 'out of the box' in other locales than the US. If anyone could let me know, or localize and repost in the main thread at the link above, that would be great!
Thanks alot everyone that helped me get this running so smooth,
Jason

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.

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

Can you import stock quotes automatically?

new to numbers. How can you import stock quotes and banking information into Numbers?

Users have written scripts to import stock quated from the web for the old version of Numbers, but I haven't heard of anyone who has done this for Numbers V3, and it may not be possible since an Applescript Dictionary hasn't been found for V3.

Firefox 4 won't allow My MSN to open Win Live Calendar, Hotmail or provide stock quotes on the default page.

My home page is My MSN. All prev. versions of Firefox opened the Calendar, Hotmail in preview fashion. Click either would take me to their main page. Stock quotes were also displayed, refreshing whenever the page was reloaded. Now, all I see are the banners for Calendar, Hotmail. Stock quotes show only info as to who provides the data. Click on any of the three takes me to the proper page. I've deleated Firefox4, then downloaded twice with no change.
HELP!

Since I could not find a solution, I uninstalled Firefox 4 and installed Internet Explorer 8. Now My MSN works fine.
I also installed then uninstalled Google Chrome. It may be a Microsoft thing that prevents other web browsers from working with My MSN. I am not a fan of MSNBC and may go to another homepage, but after 13 years it's difficult to change.

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??

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".

Since upgrade when I am in Google Finance and look at stock quote, and hit to see chart for say six months, it now opens a blank web page. this did not happen before the most recent upgrade? How fix? Explorer will still provide the chart.

Just go to google finance and get a stock quote on any stock and then the price comes up and you can choose to see the price history of different time periods, 1, 5, day one week, one month, etc. In the past when you hit the button for one of the charts, it would just change the chart on the same page, now it opens a new page that is blank?

I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.
Thank you,

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
1
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

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.

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.
