    Retrieving Data Field (Stocks)

    Hello,

    I wanted to get a data field for about 2600 publicly traded companies. The data field that I wanted to get is the minority interest from the most recent quarter balance sheet. Here's an example:

    http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:NE&fstype=ii (you have to click on the balance sheet tab and scroll down to the account labeled "minority interest")

    However, there's a problem. For some companies, google reports the financials in different currencies. For example, here's a company that is reported in CAD, even though I only want USD:

    http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:BCE&fstype=ii

    Would there be any way to convert these companies to USD? Since there's so many companies it would be hard to do this manually.

    Thanks,
    MarginOfBuffett
