How do I populate an Excel field with changing web data? -
i'm building list on excel 2011 (mac version). first column list of websites. second column list of corresponding alexa global ranks.
the problem: alexa rankings change on daily basis , list needs stay up-to-date. can link excel alexa, each time website's alexa rank changes, it's corresponding excel field changes accordingly?
ex of website's alexa page: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/cnn.com
you external data web, using excel's inbuild ability so. extremely time consuming.
if did example above have create worksheet cnn's alexa page linked it. have find cell contained text "global rank iconx y" x , y numeric values. these values global ranking , change in last 3 months respectively.
in example cell a87. it's of cleaning redundant data cell using formula like:
=left(substitute(a87, "global rank icon", ""), find(" ", substitute(a87, "global rank icon", "")))
this leaves needing create macro on workbook open event:
private sub workbook_open() activeworkbook.refreshall end sub
