Hello everyone, I have been working on a Google sheet that helps me stay on top of some stocks. I really like the googlefinance function as it updates various fields with almost no effort at all. One attribute that I want in my spreadsheet is yield. I have found that Google only provides this information for mutual funds. In order to capture this information, you can use the importHTML function if you can find an appropriate website.

A quick Google search told me I had not addressed the iss...
If you are new to blogging and want answers to all of your questions, this is not the blog for you. I am pretty sure that I don't have answers to all of your questions. However, I am new to this domain and will be happy to share my experience with you. I bought this domain name because it was inexpensive and I wanted to learn a bit about the process of setting everything up. I have managed to get the site configured and it seems pretty responsive for visitors. I have been able to setup email that is associated with my domain that appears to work very well. I have joined a few services that will provide insight into you my visitors. Since purchasing the domain, it has not been available all the time as I have been trying different configuration which has not always worked perfectly. Here is what the host has served up for visitors. I have had the domain up and running over a month now and there do appear to be visitors other than myse...
