HYPTUS version update?

[ayshfm1]

Hi

Is there a simple way of updating the spreadsheet? I couldn't figure how I could migrate from the previous verison to the new one. I have three and one has 70 odd entries so re-doing it all was not attractive.

For now I simply fixed the python for the last update, but the change was small, there must better way I'm missing.

I was indeed missing something it's in the FAQ.

Glad you got sorted with the information you were looking for, and hopefully your portfolio-migration went well?

Cheers,

We're also working on a User Guide which covers this sort of thing. It's not exactly a rival to War and Peace, but should be rather more useful than a party manifesto for the general election.

I didn't need to this time, I implemented the fix on the original, but I know how to do it properly now.

I do have another problem though. Yahoo does always do pence, sometimes it does £, this is causing a problem on a couple of ones I've added in VWRL and VUKE. The scraper assumes it's always pence. There is way to tell when it's outputing in £

LSE - LSE Delayed price. Currency in GBP

When in pence

LSE - LSE Delayed price. Currency in GBp

Currently trying to figure out how your scaper works:-)

The issue of some ETF prices bouncing between £ and pence on Yahoo is a known problem. See: http://boards.fool.co.uk/correcting-yah ... e#13367129
I think it may relate to whether the last price was a buy or a sell, but I may be wrong

In the past, the currency was always GBP, so it's interesting that it now shows GBp. Certainly Yahoo have made many changes over the past 6 months or so, so maybe they have fixed the problem (it was reported to them many times). If they are consistent about GBP and GBp, then I think we can do something about it in HYPTUSS. I'll put a test script together to monitor it.

Feel free to fire questions at me about the code, either on this board or via PM

Something I just remembered while looking at this.... the Yahoo data feed does not include currency, so we would have to infer if the price was in pounds or pence based on the data values, which has its risks.
