Damn, the colorado gold link isn't working for me anymore.
Code: Select all
=importhtml("http://www.coloradogold.com/htsell.php","table",1)
Going to try apmex again.
Nah, that's not working either. I should just type in the value manually once in a while.

I just go to kitco and type in the gold spot price. No big deal.

Yeah, Kitco is where I usually peek outside of spreadsheets.
I just type 'k' into the chrome browser and chrome rolls its eyes and takes me there.

Here's one that still works:
=Index(ImportHTML("
https://www.moneymetals.com/precious-me ... ,"table",1),2,2)
It's getting more difficult to find sites still using tables, that deliver the same page content to both browsers and Google Sheets, and don't use javascript to populate the price value, etc.

It does indeed work, thanks! I keep all these different lines of code in the comment section of the gold price sell of my spreadsheet. That way I can try alternates when one fails.

Thanks. Apmex just seemed to go away again and this does work.
Otherwise, the other options I've considered:
1) Hey, not supposed to be looking at the PP every minute anyway. Just enter the price manually for gold.
2) Use GLD and a multiplier. I do this already as a backup. Gets you pretty close.

None of the codes on these two pages are working for me today. Maybe it's a Google Sheets problem.

Awesome thanks! The result takes up quite a few cells, but at least it works
