Yahoo UK & Ireland Prices

[Gally]

I can get prices from UK Yahoo UK & Ireland for the following fund http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GB0031285678.L&ql=1

But not when I use fundmanager to update selected fund prices.

This used to work with typing GB: infront to the symbol and dropping off the last digit for fundmanager sysmbol bit anyting I try now does not seem to work. Try also GB00B00ZJM99
.

Please advise what format I need to use in fund manager to get these prices downloaded.

Many thanks

Hi John,

When Fund Manager gets prices from Yahoo it is using the "Download Data" link data, which downloads into a .CSV format. For some reason on this quote the data is showing as N/A in the downloaded .CSV format. If you look on that quote page and go to the bottom right, you'll see the link for "Download Data". If you use that link, you can see the .CSV data that Fund Manager is getting.

You might try and see if you can find this quote on Bloomberg. They seem to have a better selection available, especially for non-US investments.
