Hello Exel-sperts (yes i love bad puns),

I have spent weeks reading forums and watching videos only to fail at creating the spreadsheet I set out to; I am hoping that someone on here might be able to help me.
I need to create a spreadsheet which pulls multiple data points (from a few web pages) off yahoo finance. The method however would need to include a macro button which when pressed would refresh the data, as well as work for multiple assessments.

The data I wish to extract (using the company "Telstra" as an example) include the following:


[TABLE="width: 578"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Summary Page[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]https://au.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=TLS.AX[/TD]

</tbody>[/TABLE]


The idea is that this data is scraped off the above websites using the ticker "TLS.AX" as the identifier. Therefore, the headers should populate the first row in the spreadsheet.

The second part to this is that I would need this to work on multiple companies at a time (for example if i listed the circa 2100 companies listed on the ASX in column "A", ideally it would populate all the above listed data for every company; thus allowing the filtering of companies by data point.

Any help is very greatly appreciated. (I am not sure where else to turn to - at this point I even have doubts that excel can fulfill the requirements).

Thank-you to anybody who takes the time to read my problem!

Looks like everything is working beautifully! - aside from it randomly stopping at different increments.

Earlier where you said to change the application to from 2 to 3 seconds... Should I do this wherever it occurs throughout the macro?

thanks again for everything. wish I could send you a gift basket

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
I'm not sure why it randomly stops unless its just not allowing enough time to download everything or if the webpage is taking a little bit longer to respond. That is beyond me. You could start a new post and ask for any help speeding up the macro and ask why it randomly stops. Other than that I'm really not sure. Glad you like it.
Oh, yes everywhere it says application.wait....2, change the 2 to a 3 and see if that helps.

I also made a sheet to try and predict the probability of a stock being profitable using the historical data. You may find this useful or you may not care for it at all. The one I did, has an accuracy of 83%. I'll post several parts of how to set up the sheet followed by macros, and a function. Compare column G (actual) to column M (predicted).

I was not sure if you wanted to add a "probability of profit" column to the final summary sheet. Also, do not put too much "stock", no pun intended, into the above logistic regression. Let me know what you think.

I'm thinking this might work well as a second spreadsheet. Additionally I think I will have a go at copy pasting the current price sections of the macro into its own spreadsheet (as this value changes much more frequently and it seems near impossible to run the whole macro everyday!
