I was downloading ( http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=ADS.DE&a=7&b=13&c=2000&d=7&e=14&f=2014&g=d )
the Addidas shares from the yahoo finance site (Symbol "ADS.DE").
And after plotting I compared it with the boerse.de graph, but it looks extremely different. For me it is not clear why I get wrong data.
For example in the yahoo finance data on the 05.06.2006 is goes from 156.00 on the 06.06.2006 to 38.336

The following function in Google Sheets worked until last Friday:
=index(IMPORTHTML("https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/"&B1&"/key-statistics?p="&B1&"","table",
2),5,2)
This function would go to the statistics section in Yahoo Finance and extract the Market Cap from a stock. It stopped working today and I'm not sure why.
I tried using the following command in the Chrome console to get the table number and played with the table indices for the IMPORTHTML function but no luck:
var i = 1; [].forEach.call(document.getElementsByTagName("table"),
function(x) { console.log(i++, x); });
Did Yahoo do something to make this no longer work? OR are my indices just wrong now?
I tried using every IMPORT formula of Google Sheets and unfortunately, it is returning the same error every single time.
It seems that Yahoo changed some things in their website and it resulted to the import formula not to work anymore.
I suggest finding another website/data source that will give you the same information that you need. Or if you want to stay with Yahoo Finance, you can explore and try to use their API if you want (link-here).
EDIT: Upon further checking, it seems that this issue is only happening on some of the tickers and some webpage in Yahoo Finance. Another option would be waiting for Yahoo to fix the issue.
I created my own international portfolio tracker / dividend tracker through google sheets & yahoo finance.
The problem with international stocks is that you often cannot simply use the integrated data from google finance. KO (coca cola) is easy, CCC3.DE (also coca cola) cannot be found on google finance. suddenly some formulas stop working for some of the tickers.
For Example AD.AS does work but ccc3.de does not work.
For price is use; A1 = "CCC3.DE" or "AD.AS"
=IFNA(VALUE(IMPORTXML("https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/" &A1, "//*[#class=""D(ib) Mend(20px)""]/span[1]")))
For dividend amount I use;
=split(IMPORTXML(concatenate("http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/",index(split((E9&F9&G9),":"),0,2)),$F$22),"()"))/K9)))
It seems that Yahoo changed some things in their website and it resulted to the import formula not to work anymore for some of the webpage in Yahoo Finance as well as for some tickers. This is the result of the IMPORTXML command for the CCC3.DE ticker.
For now, I suggest finding another website/data source that will give you the same information that you need for those unavailable/unscrapeable tickers. Another option would be to wait for yahoo to fix this issue.
I would like to get key statistics data for a given symbol in Yahoo! Finance.
I found a few ways to get statistics data using Yahoo Finance API.
For example, to get Apple’s name (n), ask (a), bid (b), market cap(j1),
http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=AAPL&f=nabj1
(e.g. http://www.jarloo.com/yahoo_finance/)
But I would like to extract more information such as return on equity and enterprise value.
How can I do this?
I cannot even fetch these values from web scraping either.
Key statistics can be accessed by calling the following API-Call:
https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v10/finance/quoteSummary/AAPL?modules=defaultKeyStatistics
This includes enterprise value and book value.
I have not found a way to get return on equity directly from Yahoo Finance but it could be calculated from other values found in this answer.
Edit:
Return on equity can be found in the financial data:
https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v10/finance/quoteSummary/AAPL?modules=financialData
This matter (getting a symbol form a company name) has already been solved in the following thread with Yahoo's API and I found the first and third answers quite useful.
I also noticed that the second answer dealt with Google Finance but it uses ticker symbols and not the company name ...
Unfortunately, I learnt that Yahoo sometimes uses different ticker symbols from the stock exchanges.
So I would like to do the same thing — that is, I give a company name and I get its symbol — but with the Google Finance API, instead of Yahoo's.
Is that possible ? Thanks
Back when Google Finance first provided a Google Sheets formula, it was this:
=GoogleLookup(A1, "ticker")
But this no longer works, and Google has been dropping the ball on Finance for quite some time now. The REVERSE lookup is possible tho; ie, given the TICKER SYMBOL you can look up the official corporate name (according to GoogleFinance)...
=GOOGLEFINANCE(B1, "name")
Where A1 is the cell in Google Sheets with the corporate name,
and B1 is the cell in GS w the ticker symbol.
Basically, you now need the ticker symbol to do anything with 'GOOGLEFINANCE'.
'LOOKUP' is still around but has been changed.
If you want ticker symbols, you have to write some API calls, and those solutions can be found elsewhere.
I just want to use YQL to get the top 10 results for a particular query, and a region, eg Yahoo India, or Yahoo Ireland.
How do i do this?
Thanks,
Arvind.
You can use a region value when querying against the search.web table, like
select * from search.web where query="pizza" and region="in"
(Try this query the YQL console.)
Available region values are listed in the Supported Regions and Languages for Web and News Search page for the Yahoo! BOSS API, which the search.web data table uses.
Following changes with the Yahoo Pipes V2 'upgrade' some YQL tables have been dropped.
Thankfully some new ones have appeared but are not widely known about yet.
SELECT * FROM microsoft.bing.web WHERE query="pizza india"
