Folks - I have used the Webservice function to pull stock quotes from Yahoo's Finance website into my spreadsheets daily for the last 6 mohths. I have Office 2013 and Windows 7 Home Premium. Yesterday when I refreshed my spreadsheets the function returned this error "#VALUE!. Others are receiving a similar error that began around the same time.
Here is the command I have used for 6 motnhs -
=CLEAN(WEBSERVICE("http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s="&C12&"&f=l1"))
I have tried a variety of fixes with no success.
So then I tried the help function on Excel itself. It suggested trying the following command as a test -
=WEBSERVICE("http://mywebservice.com/serviceEndpoint?searchString=Excel")
This command returned the same error - #VALUE!
Is anyone else having the same problem? Any suggestions how to fix this?
