Suggestion for "future" upgrade that if sharecast returns n/a in latest yield that you check and use forecast yield and change colour to black (and visa-versa)? Also as sharecast has been seen to give "flaky" results for IT's to cut away from them and just use AIC for your source or something more reliable, Trustnet, Morningstar.....
Keep up the good work.
Got around to sitting down today and checking out how I could resolve MCT showing ??? Prior to changing any "code" I did some basic checks of Sharecast and found that Middlefield Income Trust is actually on Sharecast/webfg but the TIDM is shown as MCTL? Web search does not find any such TIDM that fits, so have assumed that Sharecast is actually wrong, IMO. either it should have been MCT.L or just MCT. Anyway have fired off an email to them. So before doing anything else will wait for them.....
I was wondering if your "oops" catchall could change the n/a to "0" and say green in colour, this would allow the yield/dividend calculation to work without the need to check web-site to see why the field is not populated with a "figure", just a thought. Either that or change the calculation code to ignore any TIDM with n/a? Just a thought.
