How to find a maximum value from a list of json pairs using Excel vba ?

[Rasmita Nayak]

Hi Experts,

I am totally new in VBA and coding.
Suppose i have a json string like this:

jsonstr = [{"id":"BGFV:US","dateTimeRanges":{},"price":[{"date":"2019-08-05","value":2.07},{"date":"2019-08-06","value":2.02},{"date":"2019-08-07","value":2.03},{"date":"2019-08-08","value":1.98},{"date":"2019-08-09","value":1.98},{"date":"2019-08-12","value":1.9100000000000001},{"date":"2019-08-13","value":1.9100000000000001},{"date":"2019-08-14","value":1.8},{"date":"2019-08-15","value":1.7},{"date":"2019-08-16","value":1.77},{"date":"2019-08-19","value":1.8399999999999999},{"date":"2019-08-20","value":1.8199999999999998},{"date":"2019-08-21","value":1.9100000000000001},{"date":"2019-08-22","value":1.97},{"date":"2019-08-23","value":1.95},{"date":"2019-08-26","value":1.96},{"date":"2019-08-27","value":2.07},{"date":"2019-08-28","value":1.87},{"date":"2019-08-29","value":1.87},{"date":"2019-08-30","value":1.79},{"date":"2019-09-03","value":1.7},{"date":"2019-09-04","value":1.71}],"timeZoneOffset":-4,"nyTradeStartTime":"09:30:00.000","nyTradeEndTime":"16:30:00.000","priceMinDecimals":2,"lastUpdateDate":"2019-09-04","lastPrice":1.71}]


I am trying to get data means " highest value" of the stock price from the above json string.
However, I only want the highest value of the “value” variable displayed in row 2 in my excelsheet.

I have written the following macro:
Please see above the part of code section.

Sub getData()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim n As Integer
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim i As Double

Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1")
ws.Activate

'Last row find
lastrow = ws.Cells(Rows.count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

Set rng = ws.Range("A2:A" & lastrow)
'Clear Prior Prices
ws.Range("B2:B" & lastrow).ClearContents

n = 2
'Get Symbols list
For Each Symbol In rng

Dim httpObject As Object
Set httpObject = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
Dim sURL As String
sURL = "https://www.bloomberg.com/markets/api/bulk-time-series/price/" & Symbol & "%3AUS?timeFrame=1_DAY"

Dim sRequest As String
sRequest = sURL
httpObject.Open "GET", sRequest, False
httpObject.Send
Dim sGetResult As String

sGetResult = httpObject.ResponseText
Dim oJSON As Variant
Set oJSON = JsonConverter.ParseJson(sGetResult)

On Error Resume Next
For Each item In oJSON(price)
ws.Cells(n, 2).Value = item("value")

Next item
n = n + 1

Next Symbol

MsgBox ("Data is downloaded.")

End Sub

When I run this code, it gives no error and no output.
I think I am missing some basic things but still I am unable to find it.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, by mistakenly i have mention the time frame 1_DAY.
But according to Json string , the time frame was 1_MONTH
