Awesome tip! It works with Excel 2007 as well, although things are in slightly different places. Took me maybe 10 more seconds, but in the end it is all the same.

Do you know if it is possible to get the quoite information just by typing the ticker in a excel cell?

For instance, I would type “MSFT” in one cell and the program would automatically get the stock price for me, without having to create a new query each time.

I did the same thing with Yahoo! Finance. The difference is you can create your own view and then use that URL in your web query. In that view, you can call for dividend data such as ex-date, pay date, amount and yield.

For example:

1) Go to:

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MSFT,XOM,C&d=s

Use your own tickers.

2) You will see a row at the top like this:

View: Summary | Basic | Performance | [New View]

Click New View.

3) Once there, create a view using the drop down menus. Don’t forget to name your view or your setup will be lost!

4) Enter your tickers into your new view and copy that URL.

5) Follow the steps above using the Yahoo! URL and select the appropriate arrow.

6) Enjoy your data!

I download financial data into the 97 Excel version. I’ve tried two methods, both seem to work.

(1) This webpage http://www.allworldsoft.com/software/7-066-101quote.htm will provide you with the program 101quote. 101quote is a stand-alone program and DDE (dynamic data exchange) compatible with 97 Excel. Load your stock/bond/fund symbols into 101quote and Excel will see the returned financial data.

(2) The webpage http://www.gummy-stuff.org/Yahoo-data.htm will provide you with an Excel macro that will download Yahoo financial data directly into 97 Excel.

Thanks for the information on how to compute my personal rate of return.
