I have played around with it by inserting rows or adding rows to the end, but these do not in turn appear in the hyperlink URL cell by filling. The approach I have been using is also a hyperlink cell, but I just edit the URL when I add a new row for a new stock. Incidentally, I use commas in the URL instead of pluses. I guess it makes no difference. Michael — is there a way to extend the table beyond 15.

I inserted a "click to continue" to allow for the quote.cvs to load. Looking forward to any improvements you might make to this!

Please let me know if this works. - Michael Lee,

However, I can't get it to work. When I try to copy/paste the contents of cell A2 in the URL to Copy table, it will not paste it into the Yahoo URL box that Automator creates. It just gives me a "bonk" sound and nothing appears in the box. Ideas? TIA Thanks for the effort you put into this. However, I can’t get it to work.

I think that it is an excellent idea, and it gives me a reason to learn AppleScript! I hope to explore that method of interaction with Numbers in future posts. It appears that GUI scripting is the only currently available method for automating Numbers. Good job! - Michael Marcus,
