Import runner ABC with prices.

Postby nig299 » Sun Aug 30, 2015 10:48 pm

If you need to import a list of todays runners along with the generally available prices that you can use with the Cymatic sheet, please see attached.

Ths was run at 11:15 Sunday night ready for racing Monday 31/08/2015. (Takes about 2 or 3 mins).

When you switch from race to race, you can compare the current price against the prices at the time the programe was run. The first race and prices are already shown.
You may find this useful as a measurement of how far a price has drifted/contracted in a certain time.

As mentioned, the prices shown (taken from here): http://www.oddschecker.com/horse-racing/racing-coupon are ones that are generally availble and not Betfair specific (The prices in the sheet have been converted to decimal).

Any non runners have been removed, although of course, this is liable to change nearer the time.

There are a couple of sheets that are hidden that hold the data imports.

Best regards

Hi Tony,

You can find a list of commands here that explains it much better than I could.

Hi Nigel,

Thanks for the reply. I didn't realise that you had to unhide columns.
All sorted now.

Best regards

hi, this was the error i had, using excel 2010 x64.

Im new to this and do not have much spare time at the moment, but in a couple of months i will
have a lot more and can sit down and learn both cymatic and excel properly, but in the mean time I would
like to start collecting data.
Most details of race results and SPs i can look up later, but the early prices from evening before
are the ones I am most interested in collecting now, as they are lost after the moment.
So sorry for the newbe questions.

not sure if image worked so here is URL

Hi Stiggits

Where it says
Code: Select all
Dim cel As Range, StartRow As Integer, EndRow As Integer


add X as integer to the end so it becomes

Code: Select all
Dim cel As Range, StartRow As Integer, EndRow As Integer, X As Integer
