Question

I do simple spreadsheet for my target - monitoring prices in Eve Online market. I use eve-central api and try import data from it. I use importXML function:

=(ImportXML(CONCATENATE(Sys!$B$4;A1;Sys!$C$4);"//sell/min"))

where: CONCATENATE(Sys!$B$4;A1;Sys!$C$4 - formatting url adress.

How you can see I recieved data from eve-central, but I can't translate this data to number format.

I tried to use

=SUBSTITUTE(ImportXML(CONCATENATE(Sys!$B$4;A1;Sys!$C$4);"//sell/min");".";",")

but it failed. I tried using =CONTINUE function, but it's incorrect - this function doesn't exist(???). How can I receive data from eve-central, and work with this data as value?

Answer 1

It's hard to tell what you doing since we can't see what the url address you're using is. Here's a simple price DB sheet that I use.

• Column A is the item name
• Column B is the item ID number.
• Column C has: =ImportXML(" http://api.eve-central.com/api/marketstat?typeid= " & $B2 & "&usesystem=30000142", "//sell")

This pulls in all the sell data for whatever item ID was in B2 and only for the Jita system (30000142). The sell data is actually 7 pieces of data put in the next 7 columns.

• Column C is volume (total number of items up for sell orders I believe).
• Column D is average sell price of all sell orders.
• Column E is highest sell order price (Max).
• Column F is lowest sell order price (Min).
• Column G is the standard deviation of prices.
• Column H is the median price.
• Column I is the percentile.

I then use vlookups to pull this data to other spreadsheets.
