I looked at the file from post #8.

It appears to create a link of something like:
Rich (BB code):
https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/%5ENSEI?period1=6/19/2021&period2=6/9/2022&interval=1d&events=history&crumb=agORxV\u002

The actual link when manually going to the website creates a link like:
Rich (BB code):
https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/%5ENSEI?period1=1623267647&period2=1654803647&interval=1d&events=history&includeAdjustedClose=true

How you will get those 2 numbers used for period1 & period2 I am not sure.

Actually the code to get those different dates is in the script, but it has been commented out.

VBA Code:
    Set InputControls = Sheets("Download")
    Set OutputData = Sheets("Calculations")
    
    
'    startDate = (InputControls.Range("B2") - DateValue("January 1, 1970")) * 86400
 '   endDate = (InputControls.Range("B3") - DateValue("January 1, 1970")) * 86400
  '  period = "1d"
    
        startDate = OutputData.Range("B2").Value
        endDate = OutputData.Range("B3").Value
    '    Symbol = OutputData.Range("B4").Value
        period = "1d"

The code was commented out & replaced with incorrect code.
