Planned Release Content

Thank you all who participated in the polling. An overwhelming number of people want to be able to get historical price data so this will be the next major enhancement to the OOo Calc Extension.

One person requested bid/ask price of stock. I will include this in the next release, along with many other new quote types, but remember that GETQUOTE relies on a Yahoo! service that is not always real-time:

  1. Hi Ted,

    As of a couple of days ago Getquote("^DJI") is returning "#VALUE!" instead of a number?

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks.

  2. The Yahoo! web service on which GETQUOTE relies no longer accepts "^DJI" as a valid symbol. It's odd because it accepts "^NDX", for example.

    As a work-around, try "^DJX", which is 1/100 of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Unfortunately, it is not as precise.
