Importing Stocks fails

#1 Postby borntosucceed » Sun Feb 28, 2016 10:32 pm

Hi;
I have downloaded EOD history (20 years) for a stock from Yahoo. When I get to the last step of the Import wizard I get the message "Can not import file". Just wondering is there an issue importing EOD data?

Here is part of the export:

20151009,3.83387,3.88711,3.81257,3.86581,10848000,4.11694

20150928,3.91906,4.03621,3.90841,4.03621,5121300,4.29841
20150925,4.04686,4.07881,3.91906,3.92971,13502800,4.18499

columns are Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, average (ignore)

Thanks

Hello,

Please open this file via excel and sort the data A->Z by a first column.
Earlier data need to be at the top of the file.

Here is and example of how it should be (you can delete the last column too).

20150925,4.04686,4.07881,3.91906,3.92971,13502800
20150928,3.91906,4.03621,3.90841,4.03621,5121300
20150929,3.98296,3.99361,3.91906,3.95101,12808500
