Try this one:

http://quote.yahoo.com/d/ALL.csv?s=^xcd+^dji+^spx+CHV+GM+IP+&f=sl1dd1&;
e=.csv

I added the d1

Per a message I posted yesterday:

Below is a string and the code definitions I've solved so far:

Historical quotes + ask if save to disk.
http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=ge&a=12&b=31&c=97&d=3&e=17&f=99&g=d
&q=q&y=0&z=ge&x=.csv

Historical quotes + Don't Ask
http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=ge&a=12&b=31&c=97&d=3&e=17&f=99&g=d
&q=q&y

Multiple Quotes + ask if save to disk.
http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=AOL+T+CSCO&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.cs
v

Multiple Quotes + Don't Ask
http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=AOL+T+CSCO&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv
                     /d  = download
                    ?s = symbol list follows
                    &f = format codes follow

                     format codes:
                     s = symbol
                     l = last trade time and price
                     l1 = last price only
                     d = dividend
                     d1 = date
                     t1 = time of last trade
                     c = price change in points & percent
                     c1 = price change points only
                     o = open price
                     h = high
                     g = low
                     v = volume
                     v1 = value

                     &e=.csv apparently means to as if save to disk

Multiple Quotes: Symbol, Date, Open, Hi, Low, Close, Volume
http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=AOL+T+CSCO&f=sd1ohgl1v

Now what I'm trying to solve is how to incorporate the above http
strings into a web query that formats the results into the appropriate
columns.  If you just take one of the above and make it into a web
query thusly:

WEB
1
http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=AOL+T+CSCO&f=sd1ohgl1v

and then load the sheet thru the data/get external data/web query
menu selections the result is a csv all treated as an alfa string in
one column.

Anyone got the magic code to solve this?

Dale
