Download Market Data Crashes....

(4/5 from 2 votes)
OopsHi, I downloaded the trial of Portfolio Optimization, I work in the finance industry and find this tool great! I'm looking to buy the full version. But my Download Market Data file crashes, when I tries to download historical data after I downloaded Windows 10. I had Windows 7 with Excel 2007 and it worked fine for a couple of days. Now I have Windows 10 and Office 365. The "Preparing Data Sheet Dates" appears and freezes, the the VBA troubleshooting appears and highlights "ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select". I have tried to clear cache and re installed the Download_Market_Data Excel-file. Hope you have a solution for me.

Thank you.  Using Yahoo eliminates the need to use SPY and also the limitation on the number of securities that can be downloaded at one time.

We updated the solution again with the following changes:
  • Replaced Google Finance with IEX Global as Google Finance no longer allows data download.
  • Fixed the adjusted close issue with Yahoo Finance so that now it does get the correct adjusted close values.

The download definitely has the new version.  You may need to clear your browser cache before downloading.

The  Download_Market_Data.xls in the portopt.zip file appears to be identical to the one I downloaded on 10-24-2018 according to WinDiff.
Also, the spreadsheet in the portopt.zip file that I downloaded from the link still only loads the first 5 ticker symbols that it comes with:
SPY AAPL MSFT GOOGL FB

We updated the download (in portfolio optimization download zip) to handle this bug.

Note, however that the reason for it is due to a new API limit for Alpha Vantage which states "The standard API call frequency is 5 calls per minute and 500 calls per day".

Therefore, you will only be able to get 5 symbols at a time per minute.

The symbols are:
SPY ARCC GAIN MFA MO PPL PSEC XOM
The frequency is monthly, starting 1-Jan-13

Thanks for the bug report here.

If you can provide the symbols and frequency you were using, that will help us replicate and fix the issue.
