Developer’s Description

Access historical financial data from the most popular Internet sources directly in MS Excel.

Edgeseeker Add-in for Microsoft Excel lets you seamlessly and effortlessly download and analyze market data from the most popular free internet sources such as Yahoo! Finance, Google Finance and others. Pull price, dividend, fundamental and company data directly into an Excel spreadsheet using a single formula or the intuitive Edgeseeker query interface. With the vast number of data sets available today, ranging in price from free (think Yahoo! Finance, Google Finance, and others) to thousands of dollars per month, you need a tool to get data into your analysis platform. With Edgeseeker you can search and merge data from multiple sources, consolidate asynchronous time periods and quickly display the results in Excel. Edgeseeker allows you to seamlessly integrate all of your data so you can concentrate on research, not data management. Edgeseeker natively supports the most popular free internet data sources and also works with virtually any delimited data file (comma delimited, tab delimited, etc.) and any periodicity (daily, weekly, monthly, annual, or intraday). They can all be used with Edgeseeker. You probably already know how to use Excel, so learning to use Edgeseeker is simple. And because Edgeseeker is an Excel Add-in, you can integrate your own Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code for maximum flexibility and functionality. Of course, many of the common tasks involved in financial research require no code at all, but the added flexibility is there when you need it.

Excellent free investment tool for Excel
pmwalsh_usNovember 18, 2010
Pros
Easy to download historical financial data directly into Excel. There are several tools to help make the most of the historical data, including a charting tool for multiple securities, an interactive financial statement viewer, and a factor analyzer.
Cons
There are no cons to this software.
Summary
This product is an Excel add-in, so it is easy to use if you are comfortable with Excel. Historical financial data from sources such as Yahoo and Google can be imported into Excel with just a few clicks, and not just price data. Fundamental data (income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement) and dividends can be imported too. There is also a nice charting tool for single or multiple securities. Users can plot spreads and ratios of two instruments, and even plot fundamental trends (e.g. net income, sales, etc.) concurrent with prices. A unique financial statement viewer allows comparison of multiple companies side-by-side, and all of the data points are visualized with the integrated financial statement chart. A single click exports fundamental data into an Excel spreadsheet and users may even build custom financial statements (e.g. an abbreviated income statement). For more advanced users, there is a factor analysis tool for building multi-factor linear models to uncover influential drivers of an investment. For example, a 2-factor model of the XLE might be the S&P 500 and crude oil (as represented by SPY and OIL). The model shows how XLE has been historically influenced by those two factors. A standard Excel formula, similar to SUM() or AVERAGE() can be used to access all of the available data directly in a spreadsheet. This makes it easy to create investment models which will update automatically as new data are available. Overall, this is a user-friendly add-in for quickly accomplishing some common (and not-so-common) investment-related analyses. And it's free, so there's nothing to lose.
