Today we released a new version of Excel Price Feed. To update your Add-in, please follow the instructions in the User Guide.
This release includes the following changes:
Yahoo Finance: EPF.Yahoo.HistoricDatePeriod formula
We’ve made several improvements to this formula.
We have fixed an issue which affected certain stock/date combinations which returned additional data points outside the requested date range.
We have also added an additional optional parameter includePrePost which if set will include pre and post market data in the returned time series (for periods less than daily).
We have also made 3 of the parameters optional so you just need to specify a ticker, period and start/end date.
For example, this formula will return hourly data for Apple from 1 to 4 October; it will return headers, date in descending date order and not include pre or post market data:
Today we released a new version of Excel Price Feed. To update your Add-in, please follow the instructions in the User Guide.
In this release, we plugged in any gaps in formulas which were missing the Quarterly and Trailing 12 Months equivalent. The gaps were in the Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Cash Flow groups of formulas.
We also added some additional formulas for retrieving Quarterly figures, which all take as inputs a stock ticker and a quarter. Yahoo doesn’t make available equivalent TTM formulas.
Lastly, we added quite a few additional Quarterly and TTM formulas for Cash Flow. Along with the formulas for Free Cash flow (added in the previous version) below are all the Cash Flow formulas in the system.
Here is an example of the new formulas used in a sheet. This dataset is for the MSFT ticker.
Again the Quarterly formulas take a input a ticker and a reporting quarter and the Trailing 12 Month (TTM) Formulas take as input just a stock ticker. Examples:
We recently added 3 new formulas to the Add-in for retrieving historical market data:
EPF.Yahoo.Historic1MinuteLookback
EPF.Yahoo.Historic5MinuteLookback
EPF.Yahoo.Historic1HourLookback
These formulas use a “lookback” whereby you can specify the number of periods back from now, together with an option to specify if pre and post market data is included.
Unfortunately, the pre/post market option was not working correctly and this is what has been fixed in this release.
Here is an example of one of these formulas in action:
This dataset is for Apple stock and is hourly data points looking back the past 100 trading hours.
The dates and times shown in column A are in UTC, therefore we can see that pre and post market data is included, also known as “Outside Regular Hours”.
This data is becoming increasingly important as volumes outside normal market hours increase, and our improved historical formulas allow you to easily analyse this data in Excel.
