Sharecast dividends?

Post by jeff50 »

Hi I am running the Excel v11-79 dividends for Sharecast and they load up as 2018 dividends. Is there a known issue or is it my software?

You are right! :cry:
The Excel and LibreOffice versions both pick up the oldest data instead of the newest.

I can't believe we got it wrong with both versions, which are developed completely independently, so I can only guess that Sharecast have changed the dividends table from oldest-to-newest, to newest-to-oldest. Here's the source data for VOD, for example: https://www.sharecast.com/equity/Vodafo ... /dividends

Leave it with me, I'll fix it (might take a few days)
