This post is for new users who may be having trouble installing and running the various investing spreadsheets available on the site.
The installation and troubleshooting guide has been updated to include all issues so far as experienced by myself and users.
You can download the investing spreadsheet install guide directly below or refer to the embedded document below.
IMPORTANT
Please read the guide and FAQ section. To date, I’ve been spending hours helping people with simple excel issues on a free product rather than anything spreadsheet related.
So for all excel and install problems, place all questions in the forum under spreadsheet installation below. That way I won’t have to answer the same question again and again.
Quick Point
If you install the spreadsheet and it doesn’t update automatically, PRESS F9 which is the refresh key for excel.

Hello,
I’m trying to read the install and FAQ pdf but my work has blocked it because of the way it is appearing. Do you have a URL for the PDF or is there another spot on the website I can view it?
Thanks.

How did you get around the fact that with the RCHGetTable add-in you are only able to access 1000 web pages, otherwise you get the “Error – Too many web pages” message in each excel cell. It seems to me that your 10y OSV exceeds the limit; and yet doesn’t get the error. I was curious how you did this?
Also, I have really found your tool helpful. Many thanks,
Tyler

It doesn’t exceed 1000 pages. It is only about 200web pages so well within the limit. There is also a SMFforcecalculation function that you can use to dump cache to refresh.
