In addition to using the standard, Select, Copy & Paste process, you can create a Web Query in Excel. The advantage of the Web Query is that when you "Refresh" it, you now have access to the most current information - without leaving Excel.

Web Queries are great for setting up a system to gather the most current Sports Scores, Stock Prices or Exchange Rates. Watch as I demonstrate the process to follow to set this up in Excel.

I invite you to visit my online shopping website - http://shop.thecompanyrocks.com - to see all of the resources that I offer you.

    No, this is not possible on a public website. You need to look for the HTML Table Tags that are defined with Yellow Boxes with Black Arrows.

    Some websites - usually intranemts - may allow you to import XML Data. More of these are showing up.

    I wish that I had a better answer for you at this time.

  • IS it possible to fetch non tabular data from a web query. Html pages (frames) without tables

  • @arunprsdvr

    Can you tell me the website that you are trying to search for this information?

    You can send the URL to my email address - danny @ thecompany rocks dot com (YouTube sometimes frowns on including email addresses and URLs in responses.
