MSN Stock Quote

[Wendy Hoffman]

We have a worksheet setup that uses the MSN Stock Quote. For the most part,
the worksheet is fine. However, a few of the symbols are not able to be
found. I know that the formula is working because I can use a different
symbol and the information populates. However, for a few we are having a
problem. Since the majority is working, I was not able to find any work
around. I brought up MSN website and found the symbols that are not working
on the worksheet. Any suggestions on why some are not working?

I don't use MSN but I do have a free Yahoo file that gets quotes. If you
ask, OFF list, I will send.
All you do is fill in the YAHOO symbol, basis and shares. Excel does the
rest for as many as you like.
