    stock exchange averages in a cell

    I am using office 365 Excel and wish to have the Dow Jones Industrial, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq averages each downloaded into their respective cell. Is there a way to get these numbers off the internet and into Excel? (either writing a function or purchasing a commercial add-in)

    He has a link that will allow you to update stock quotes. I use it regularly. It is free.

    Alan - Thanks for the response, but I still need help.
    I downloaded and followed the readme instructions.
    When loading the PMStockQuote,xlsx spreadsheet, I get the following message

    The file format and extension of PMStockQuote.xll don't match.

    If I load anyway I get over 3,000 lines of binary code.
    If I do not load, the spreadsheet opens in protected mode and if I enable editing, nothing works.
    Did I miss something on the download website?

    Cannot determine what your issue is. However, here is another option.

    If your Stock symbol is in Cell E1, then use this formula to get the latest pricing

    =NUMBERVALUE(WEBSERVICE("http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s="&E1&"&f=l1"))

    Alan,
    The formula works perfectly, but I really want the end of day averages for S&P 500, Dow 30, and Nasdaq.
    I went to the finance.yahoo web site and see these averages listed at the very top of the page.
    I am trying to find a way to download these averages into Excel.
    Perhaps there is a historical chart and I can get the last day from it

    Here are two more options that I have used in the past.

    Alan,

    I found the Yahoo Index symbols (^GSPC (S&P%00), ^IXIC (Nasdaq), and ^DJI (DOW).
    Using the Website formula --
    The S&P and Nasdaq work perfectly and you solved the problem.
    The Dow Industrials symbol returns a #VALUE. As soon as I solve this one, I will have just what I want.
    Thank you very much.
    Ollie

    Re: stock exchange averages in a cell

    I have come to the conclusion that the DJI index is not downloadable at least from YAHOO.
    I will keep on working, and I thank you very much for the formula that solved the other two.
