I'd post here for people viewing this thread.

I do my daily update of the stock market in 20-30 minutes (the basics are quick now that I have the text of the boilerplate part in an Excel spreadsheet, e.g. the title line looks like:

="S&P 500 closed "&TEXT(N7952,"#&quot & " 7/"&TEXT(M7952,"#&quot &" at "&TEXT(J7955,"##&quot &IF(K7957>0,", up ",", down &quot &TEXT(ABS(K7956),"0.0%&quot &" for the day, and up "&TEXT(ABS(N7956),"0.0%&quot &" year-to-date"

which evaluates to:

"S&P 500 closed Thursday 7/31 at 6339, down 0.4% for the day, and up 7.8% year-to-date"

but I usually try also to write a summary of the market day, and that takes some time, unfortunately, and I can't skip doing that today, being end-of-week, and with all the news)
