HYPTUSS - dividenddata only updating some dividends

[torata]

I ran the updater on the dividend tab, pulling data from Dividenddata.co.uk, and I'm only getting dividend info on about 20% of the shares I have

For example, OK ones:
Greene King
G4S
Greggs
Kier

Some which just come back as "No Div"
Astra
Aviva
BHP
BAe

It updated all dividends successfully on 3 Feb.
It doesn't seem to be an issue with dividenddata blocking me as I wouldn't get any results at all.
Does anyone else have same issue?

Win 10 - LibreOffice 6.0.5.2 - HYPTUSS is version b-f

I see the same problem, except none of the dividends are updating from Dividend Data. I know it was OK a few weeks ago, so something has changed.
The Excel version appears to be OK.

I'll have a look at it. In the meantime, you should find dividends from Investorease are OK (and a lot quicker!)

Thanks for reporting the problem

I have it too. If it helps diagnosis, of the 28 shares I hold (listed here) only four update:
Halfords (HFD)
De La Rue (DLAR)
IMI (IMI)
Electrocomponents (ECM)

Common factor: None are in FTSE100. (they are in 250 or Small Cap)

all (bar LLPD as expected) update from Investorease.

I've identified the problem. It's due to a change in the Dividend Data page structure.

https://www.dividenddata.co.uk/ex-divid ... chTerm=sse
Shows a column "Type" for past ex-div-dates.

https://www.dividenddata.co.uk/ex-divid ... chTerm=hfd
Does not show the "Type" column.

It appears that the "Type" column is only shown for FTSE100 companies.

So, that's the problem. I now need to work on a solution. And also understand why the Excel HYPTUSS is not affected.

I've worked out why the Excel version is working..... it isn't!!! It just fails in a different way. For FTSE100 companies, the ex-div date is displayed instead of the payment date, due to the columns being shifted due to the addition of the "Type" column. And the Declaration date is being filled with the data in the "Type" column.

Drat!

Just as an update to this - they now look to be showing the 'Type' column for many more markets....

It seems that there's been a roll-out of this new information across the data-set, so hopefully in the end we'll be left with a standard data-set again once things settle down...
