Google Sheets - [Resource at URL not found]

Question

Recently having issue with google sheets getting info from yahoo finance.

=if(isblank(B4),"",ImportXML("https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/"&B4&"/history?p="&B4, "//tbody/tr[1]/td[6]"))

*Cell B4 is ticker, example: [7113.KL]

Anyone encounter this?

Any solution for this?

Answer 1

Seems like IMPORT functions doesn't work on the link you provided. It might be that the data is javascript generated and it is a current limitation of IMPORT functions.

Easiest way to circumvent this is to find another site that its data isn't javascript generated. Such as this one .

Formula:

=INDEX(IMPORTXML("https://www.investingport.com/quotes/7113.KL/", "//div[@class='col-md-6']/span"),1,1)

Since your B4 contains 7113.KL and you check the B4 first, then adjusted formula is:

=if(isblank(B4),"", INDEX(IMPORTXML("https://www.investingport.com/quotes/"&B4&"/", "//div[@class='col-md-6']/span"),1,1))

Sample output:

Alternative:

• Another way is to do it via Apps Script using UrlFetchApp
