Stock Quotes Prices Excel
, - 36 commentsWhile trying to spell check one my sheets I have learned this cool trick to fetch real time stock quotes without any webqueries or vba or anything.First enter the stock code in a cell (this works for US stocks only), for eg. AAPL for Apple, MSFT for Microsoft etc. Then ALT+CLICK on that cell, this will open “Research task pane” on the right side of the screen. The screen should look something like this:Dont worry if you dont see the stock quote, that could be because your research type is set to either “all research books” or “thesaurus”, just click the drop-down and select “MSN Money Stock Quotes” – 2nd option from last (Excel remembers your selection, so next time you alt+click on a company code it automatically shows the stock quote) Once the quote is displayed in the research task pane, just click the “insert price” button to get the quote inserted in to your worksheet. Simple eh?Now, if you want to track a bunch of company quotes, just create a simple macro to do the alt+click on each of the company code cells and you have a real time quote tracking terminal built into your excel sheet. Just go wild 😀Bonus tip: If you want a company profile data for a particular stock (like company address, phone number, exchange codes, last year revenue) select the “Thomas Gale company profiles” instead.Please note that both this options work Excel 2003 and above.Also read.
@Nicolas: Welcome. And thanks for asking your questions.While macros are a good way to automate tasks like this, you may want to consider a web service call (as shown here: ). You can use Yahoo Finance or Google Finance (google has rest api, so I guess it is even more easier). It is relatively easy to build your own function to extract the relevant stock quote data.I have been getting several requests for this that one of these days I might just do it. Meanwhile, if you could build a macro that could call google finance or yahoo finance, let us all know, and you will get a free donut 🙂.

Thank you for mentioning this! There was indeed an issue with request dates, e.g., the following won't work:The reason seems to be that this date range only includes a weekend. This is unexpected, in a way, because the Yahoo! Website itself automatically corrects such a request and shows data for the preceding Friday. The CSV web service apparently does not do that.Hence, in the macro, it makes sense to look back for a full week:dtPrevDate = dtDate - 7That way you will download data for a full week and still just take the quote from the most recent date.The article above is adjusted accordingly, and the code should work fine again.If you encounter other errors, try to un-comment the lines with 'Debug.Print'; that would help identifying errors.
Found it and replaced your function as follows.For more details, see webpageFunction Shareprice(YahooTicker As String)Dim strURL As String, strCSV As Double' Compile the request URL with selected Yahoo Ticker & Yahoo Tag' Example for Apple Inc. Share price'strURL = '& YahooTicker & '&f=l1'Set http = CreateObject('MSXML2.XMLHTTP')http.Open 'GET', strURL, Falsehttp.SendstrCSV = http.responseTextShareprice = strCSVSet http = NothingEnd Function. Thanks for this great macro! I simplified the program and removed the date input.

So my version only outputs the current stock price ('l1'). I guess that is what Rupesh and Mike asked for further above. The input has to look like this: =StockQuote('tickersymbol').I had difficulties with this macro to show exchange rates (e.g. That's why I changed the url in my version to 'download.finance.yahoo.com'. Somehow there it works.Here is the code:Function StockQuote(strTicker As String)Dim strURL As String, strCSV As StringDim dbClose As Double' Compile the request URLstrURL = '& strTicker & '&f=l1' Debug.Print strURLSet http = CreateObject('MSXML2.XMLHTTP')http.Open 'GET', strURL, Falsehttp.SendstrCSV = http.responseText' Debug.Print strCSVdbClose = strCSV' Debug.Print vbLf' Debug.Print 'dbClose: ' & dbCloseStockQuote = dbCloseSet http = NothingEnd Function. Hi Mike,I added some code (all the credit goes to Nick - ).You can change the update interval (Line 8.
It's set to 5 minutes right now). I wouldn't recommend to set a a very small time though. Yahoo seems to block too many requests from the same user. Rene, Thank you.Thank you. I've been trying to replace an Open Office plug-in called 'GetHistory' which also retrieved Yahoo historical stock prices as it quit working some time ago.
Thank you also Jeff O for posting how to retrieve the adjusted closing prices also. Those are the only historical prices that mean anything to me. With much struggle I got it working on Excel 2013.
A program that I hate along with Windows 8. Anyway, it works and it has simplified my life.Thanks again,Merle. Rene, Thanks for the macro! It works great and was exactly what i needed.Would you have any idea how to retrieve another piece of Yahoo Finance data for comparison?There is a Field called 'Mean Target' on the Analyst Opinion Tab within Yahoo Finance that i'd like to compare to the stock prices to see which stocks have the most and least theoretical upside.My Macro/VBA understanding is insufficient to figure out how to adapt your code to perform this additional function.If you have any ideas, i'd be grateful.(I have also been an investor for a long time and think it will help you to make money in stocks.). I like the function but was a little leery of using a function on my spreadsheet where I track historical info.
I wouldn’t want to update a sheet that has values for a previous period. So I wrote a little macro that I will run once, it’ll update my sheet with the current values for the stocks. Then I can save the spreadsheet and if I open it six months later it won’t try to recalculate by sending the command to yahoo again.The macro is based on the assumption that the ticker symbols start at cell A5; there can be as many as 40 symbols (blanks are skipped).
I like Renee's idea with the auto-updater and Larry's idea of utilising an x=stockquote(symbol) and x=value of specified cellBut I would like to know if it is possible to somewhat combine the two and use prices fetched from yahoo.without having to type the full formula into excel each time.E.g. I want to have the formula built into the cell, and all I have to type is the code AAPL which converts into the price (rather than typing: stockquote('aapl')Is this possible??Thanks so much guys, this macro has already made my days much easier!. This code works on Excel, Office for Mac 2011. It will put the quote to the right of the cell with the macro call.Function StockQuote(strTicker As String)Call StockQuote2(strTicker, ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Address)End FunctionFunction StockQuote2(strSymbol As String, strDest As String)Dim strURL As StringstrURL = '& strSymbol & '&f=l1'With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:='URL;' & strURL, Destination:=Range(strDest)).PostText = '.RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells.SaveData = True.RefreshEnd WithEnd Function. Thw witcher 3 mods. I put stock symbols in column B, starting with cell B5. I then update prices in column D, using PPK's code.
Stock symbols have to match Yahoo, i.e. BRK/B is BRK-B in Yahoo.Sub Quotes'Dim Symbol As StringDim Comma As StringComma = ','Range('B5').SelectSymbol = ActiveCell.ValueRange('B6').SelectDo Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Value)Symbol = Symbol & Comma & ActiveCell.ValueActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range('A1').SelectLoopRange('B5').SelectActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Range('A1').Value = StockQuote(Symbol)Range('A1').SelectEnd Sub. I'm using two macros 1 for price history, and one for current price, using what I have seen above.Everything was running well until today. My current price (stockquote) quit working for me, and just returns a 0.
Is this a yahoo issue? Did something change? Never had this issue before.
