Default Web Query

I can give you an alternative. I have a free open-source EXCEL add-in
that can extract data from most web pages. I originally wrote the add-
in because of various problems and issues I was having with EXCEL Web
Queries.

The add-in, documentation on its functions, and templates and examples
of their usage, can be found in the files are of this Yahoo Group:

http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/smf_addin/

For example, the following three formula could be used to grab the
last price, the opening price, and the high price from the web page
you mention:

=RCHGetTableCell("https://secure.icicidirect.com/trading/equity/
trading_stock_quote.asp?Symbol=NIFTY",1,"Last Trade Price")
=RCHGetTableCell("https://secure.icicidirect.com/trading/equity/
trading_stock_quote.asp?Symbol=NIFTY",1,"Day Open")
=RCHGetTableCell("https://secure.icicidirect.com/trading/equity/
trading_stock_quote.asp?Symbol=NIFTY",1,"Day High")

...which returns:

4497.7
4509.65
4538.6

This error has started to come recently. Till few weeks back data was
getting downloaded on the excel sheet from this particular website. Now also
data is getting downloaded from other sites, but not from this site. I
urgently need data download to excel from this site. Any suggestions?
