Rishi, If you own MetaStock, you just need to use the downloader to do your conversions. If you do not own MetaStock then .... #-o .... Why you need data in the MetaStock format. If you are using another software there might other ways ... Patrick :mrgreen:

Hey 107- It sounds like your file association may have changed in Windows since you used to be able to do what you are trying to do now. Have you looked at this? Run File Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | File Types and see what program is associated with the CSV extension. If it is now Notepad, you can change it or delete it and start from scratch. Also, Excel will convert CSV files into TXT files or other word processing formats. Maybe that will help you. Good luck oz_pdt_02w

Don't sweat it 107, we'll figure it out... I'm not sure that I understand what it is you are wanting to accomplish. You are asking about CSV conversion, but what exactly are you trying to convert and what do you want to convert it for? Can you give us an exact example? If you are trying to convert ticker information from an internet search into symbols that Metastock can track, then I had a similar question when I first joined the forums and I'm doing it now thanks to the folks here. :D The thing that helped me most was Patrick's post "How to create a custom symbols file".

The download converter is a picky - picky - picky little animal that needs considerable improvement. To get your downloads from Yahoo: Yahoo asks if you want to save as *.CSV", say yes. Now, there are a couple of formats that yahoo does. the history (which you ought to use even if its only for one day on a daily basis) For qqqq, you get a file like this: Date,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume,Adj. Close* 23-May-05,37.66,37.99,37.60,37.85,93068200,37.85 20-May-05,37.45,37.69,37.35,37.66,66530100,37.66 19-May-05,37.29,37.52,37.20,37.51,92619696,37.51 The converter doesn't like this date format. Open the file in Excel, and format the whole column to Date,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume,Adj. Close* 5/23/05,37.66,37.99,37.60,37.85,93068200,37.85 5/20/05,37.45,37.69,37.35,37.66,66530100,37.66 5/19/05,37.29,37.52,37.20,37.51,92619696,37.51 Now, it also will not like the "header" Use Excel to add some columns. Delete the "close column, and label the last column as close. It helps to add a Name column and use "<" and ">" to get a format that looks like this (I put in spaces for clarity; do not put any spaces in): <ticker>,<date>,<open>,<high>,<low>,<vol>,<close> qqqq, 5/23/05, 37.66, 37.99, 37.60, 93068200,37.85 qqqq, 5/20/05, 37.45, 37.69, 37.35, 66530100,37.66 qqqq 5/19/05, 37.29, 37.52, 37.20, 92619696,37.51 BY including a "ticker" column, you can have a mix of securities in one conversion. I think the real sticking point is the format of the date and the distinction of the column headers. I'm sorry if this seems too complicated. If it is, complain to Metastock. dc
