=Substitute(importXML("http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=OUTR160115C00050000","//*[@id=yfs_l10_outr160115c00050000]"),"*","")

 

If you've got Chrome, you can right click the thing you want to scrape, click "inspect element". Then another frame pops up with the html of the thing you inspected. Right click that and select "Copy XPATH". That's the second argument to the importXML function (//*[@id=yfs_l10_outr160115c00050000]).

 

I know that's confusing. PM me if you want to do a google hangout and I can share my screen to walk you through it. I'm on vacation until Monday, but can do a hangout after that.
