Default Retrieving data from Web page 2

That should read "...so Excel cannot parse... "

You can use an Excel web query, but make sure you select the "Entire Page"
option.
I'm not HTML expert, but it looks like the data is not really in a table

but
in DIV/SPAN tags, so Excel can parse it as it in TABLE/TR/TD tags.
You'll have to do work then to get the data separated.

Hi,

I have tried this also, I don't see the data from the webpage.

How to resolve?


http://www.investor.reuters.wallst.c...asp?ticker=IBM

Trying to retrieve specific info from the web page.
ie: EPS (TTM) vs TTM 1 Yr. Ago

I can't seem to retrieve any data from the page, I have tried using the
following:

#1:
'Microsoft.XMLHTTP, MS COM object to retrieve data from another website

via
HTTP requests
Set xmlhttp = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

#2:
Set oIE = New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
'Open the web page
oIE.Navigate
"http://www.investor.reuters.wallst.com/stocks/Ratios.asp?ticker=IBM


What is the best way to retrieve the data from this page?


Thanks.
