RIO's Google Finance ticker gone AWOL?

[Gilgongo]

(Not strictly a HYP question, but I assume a lot of people here might hold them)

Does anyone know why Google Finance is coming up with nothing if I search for LON:RIO? It used to work, but now it doesn't and it's breaking my spreadsheets. I can't immediately see any news that may have led to a ticker change, but maybe I missed something.

Sorry, I'm a bit Dorisian.

Google Finance has been flaky for some time now, with the recognition of UK tickers coming and going from one day to the next.

Not a solution, but I just wanted to let you know that it's not just you, and it's not just RIO either.

OK thanks. I'll just plonk it in manually for what I'm doing right now, then hope they fix it later.

Google Finance is struggling with OEIC prices as well currently. I ended up using IMPORTHTML to scrape my Fundsmith and Vanguard prices from the stock exchange website. IFERROR may be helpful to provide an alternative scrape when googlefinance fall over, which is way too much.

I'm currently using IFERROR for Singapore stocks, since google stopped, then Yahoo stopped, so I plagiarized some ImportXML entries for Bloomberg, WSJ & another & have multiple sources for these now.
