Default Litte more advanced question

Hi,

You can connect Excel to at least some web data. But I don't think Excel
can detect when the website updates. But you could set up Excel to refresh
on a regular basis.

Connect using Data, Import External Data, New Web Query

To have it automaticlly update right click the range after you imbed the
query and choose, Data Range Properties, check Refresh every and set the time.

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Cheers,

Is it possible to have a excel sheet that auto updates from a website
whenever the website is updated?

Now I understand the excel file would have to open for the update to occur.
But the main part of this question is really broken into two parts.

1. Can you reference online data?

2. How fast can the refresh rate be on the calculations?
