Using the dftool command or fetch function to access yahoo financial data for historical values are giving "No data return' and "Error using yahoo/fetch (line 314) Unable to return data for given security and date.", respectively.

There seems to be a problem with the date. That is, yahoo is not accepting the numerical date (datenum).

Any assistance most appreciated.

This only works for Windows. Is there a fix for Mac users as well?

I revised the instructions at that link so they will work for a Mac.
