<p>When I extract the data using "Investment Transactions" and use the default<br>
settings. A CSV file is produced. But when I try to upload that CSV to<br>
Yahoo Finance it fails....so not sure I i need to change the settings or<br>
use different format?</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
James</p></div>jamestag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/542187422022-05-10T18:30:31Z2022-05-10T18:30:31ZUse Extract Data for Yahoo Finance Import?<div><p>Ok. There’s no way that will work. The extract has not been formatted for a Yahoo Finance portfolio csv upload. Sorry. You could do it if you played with the data.</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/542187422022-05-10T18:48:16Z2023-05-16T21:11:53ZUse Extract Data for Yahoo Finance Import?<div><p>That's unfortunate. Would have been wonderful to able to quickly extract<br>
the data for use in Yahoo Finance</p></div>jamestag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/542187422022-05-10T19:43:26Z2022-05-10T19:43:26ZUse Extract Data for Yahoo Finance Import?<div><p>I did just have a play and the yahoo format is not published. You have to extract to get their format and then massage the data. It seems to be based on lots (buys/sells).</p>
<p>Out of interest, is the MD portfolio screen no good for you? Or perhaps the extract-data: stockglance2020 screen?</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/542187422022-05-10T19:56:49Z2023-05-16T21:11:54ZUse Extract Data for Yahoo Finance Import?<div><p>It's helpful and also use the Stock Glance extension. However, the update<br>
frequency is limited to daily or greater. I can manually enter and maintain<br>
my investments in Yahoo or Google but that is too labor intensive.</p>
<p>I like keeping a close eye on my investments, especially given the current<br>
volatility of the markets</p></div>jamestag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/542187422022-05-14T11:34:28Z2022-05-14T11:34:28ZUse Extract Data for Yahoo Finance Import?<div><p>Out of interest, do you care about the buy/sell txns in the yahoo portfolio, or just want the total shares and costs per security?</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/542187422022-05-14T11:37:45Z2023-05-16T21:11:54ZUse Extract Data for Yahoo Finance Import?<div><p>Yes, this way I could monitor stock performance based on cost basis</p></div>jamestag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/542187422022-05-14T11:47:49Z2022-05-14T11:47:49ZUse Extract Data for Yahoo Finance Import?<div><p>Sorry, yes what?
