I’m using importdata to retrieve Yahoo stock information, which works fine on individual rows, but when combined with arrayformula to fill down the page when additional symbols are added does not initiate continue. The formula I'm using is:

=arrayformula(ImportData("http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s="&CONCAT(A2:A,B2:B)&"&f=snk2l1jkm3m4"))
  • A2:A contains the stock codes
  • B2:B contains the exchange code, e.g., .ax for Australia

  • What do I need to change to have the 'arrayformula' fill down the sheet as I add more values in columes A and B?

  • @Chris: Please, create a demo spreadsheet and share it for view only with anyone with the link.

  • I edited out smartquotes from your formula. Was that a paste error or do you actually have them in there? That could be problematic.

It doesn't work with arrayformula - importdata, and importxml will not work it unfortunately.

  • A change make to Google Sheets on early weeks of 2017 makes that arrayformula now works on SPLIT

  • I agree, arrayformula still doesn't work with import functions. By the way, I marked this other question as duplicate of this one.

This article says that can be achieved by writing an app script that then takes the importxml xpath as array driving down the column row by row producing the results in the desired column. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33147567/how-to-place-importxml-result-to-a-google-script-array
