Hello,

I can use this fuction for FX rates and stocks but for commodities it just doesn't work.

I am using these tickers, for example '@CL0Y. I tried to use it with a space before @, then w/o space but formatted as a text or this with ' but any of that works. Still if I try go to Data -> Convert to Stocks I get error for unknown data type. 

I am not able to find any different tickers but I have copied those from a tutorial video where it worked.

Are you someone familiar with this issue, please?

 

Thank you in adavance

Br, David

Hi David,

Not sure why you're using the @ sign before the ticker. You need to prefix the stock ticker with the exchange 'market identifier code' as listed here. e.g. XNYS:ABC

Hi David,

Do the examples refer to structured tables? Maybe that's why you have @.

See : Using structured references with Excel tables

Hello,

none of those examples refer to tables. Please see attachment.

I am doing exactly the same as in this video

Hi David,

Thanks for sharing the video. I've not seen that use for commodity futures before. Very interesting. I had sporadic success with it e.g. I could get Natural Gas @NG0Y but not @CL0Y for crude oil. I discovered if I type in @WTI it doesn't find crude oil, but the data selector finds it when I search for @WTI, and then I'm able to select 'light sweet crude oil' that has the ticker @CL0Y.

I wonder if there are some regional limitations to using these ticker symbols. I'm in Australia, so perhaps they have disabled them or it's not able to find them because it's applying some sort of regional filter on the search. Of course if you are based in the US, then that theory is moot.

Hello Mynda,

that @WTI worked for me 🙂 Sometimes it doesn't work with that Ticker but then when you go with the search it works, like in a case with gold.

Also when I tried NG0Y it did not work for me, but when I try to write Natural Gas and then do the search it offers NG0Y and it works.

I live in Europe but I don't think it is by some local restrictions. So maybe some general local settings of users? Like using . instead of , and something like that.

I think this is issue of commodities because I tried to search them with =GOOGLEFINANCE in google sheets and also had no issues with stocks etc. but had issues with commodities 🙂

Have a good day

David
