Thanks for the nice spreadsheet Samir.

This sheet has been referenced from a GitHub discussion of YLOADER that ran into the same Yahoo change (Adjusted Close addition) that you had to address. In that thread, someone mentioned that the last (or first, depending on the sort) date is unformatted in the worksheets. I believe that this is caused by a miscalculation in determining the last row just prior to the format set in the DownloadData sub. Specifically:
lastRow = Sheets(stockTicker).UsedRange.Row – 2 + Sheets(stockTicker).UsedRange.Rows.Count

should be
lastRow = Sheets(stockTicker).UsedRange.Row – 1 + Sheets(stockTicker).UsedRange.Rows.Count

Really, lastrow for this purposes could be simply equal to Sheets(stockTicker).UsedRange.Rows.Count, but I didn’t want to trace down all possible usages and why you wanted to include the starting row, so I made the simpler change.

Hi,
In the WB for Yahoo Since last week the routine returns a “runtime error” at this line “cookie = Split(.getResponseHeader(“Set-Cookie”), “;”)(0)” requesting a valid CRUMB.
I suspect something changed in the WinHTTP.dll. What’s exactly happened?

Hello Samir
I use this spreadsheet every month to download closing prices of a 50 stocks for the US and Canadian markets.
Today, for the first time, it stopped working and a Window appeared on screen:
When I run the “Debug”, it shows me programming stuff that I do not understand.
I did email you the same message with pictures of the Windows that appear.
I am not a programmer, so this stuff is beyond my comprehension!
Is it fixable? Let me know please.
Truly appreciate this tool.
Kindest regards, Erwin

Unfortunately the VBA script stops after a few seconds as Yahoo changed something on their side. This goes for the file I have in use for years but also for the blank template. It’s documented on Github but way above my head. Hope you’re able to fix it yet again! Tnx Samir…

Hi. I’ve dl your most recent bulk downloader using excel, also the hourly data downloader.

I recently got rid of a Dell xps15 and replaced it with a Maingear laptop. Dell kept blue-screening.

Now, excel continuously crashes. BTW it only crashes when I have your software running, especially the hourly. I believe it to be an Excel issue – I’m using 64-bit 2016 MSO Excel. Any ideas?

Hi Samir,

when i run the code it works perfectly with most of the tickers. but with some of them it just stops and returns 1004 error. for example, when i choose these parameters:
Start Date 2016-10-06
End Date 2017-10-06
Frequency d
the code stops when it copies data for CO from 25/10/2016, second column (“High”). i.e. it copies the data from 06/10/2016 to 24/10/2016 and then stops on the row “25/10/2016”
When i delete this ticker, all works fine
could you please check what can be the problem? I would really appreciate if you can fix it or at least let me know what can go wrong here

thank you!

I got the error code 429, which states that it can show Active-X components on my mac, when I try to run the macro. I am working with Excel 2011.
Can somebody help?

Hi Samir, I would like to bring it to your notice that it stops the below line
ErrorHandler:

Worksheets(“Parameters”).Select.

Could you please look in to it. And do you have the same file ditto for google intraday for bulk stocks?
