Appreciate any help of advise on the following:

I am using a scheduler called z-cron to start safari web browser which has
its start up ie its home page connecting via port to another running
application to collect data from this *application *( I can only collect the
applications data using web client *ie cannot export it ...).

This captured text data now in the web browser is then cut and paste into
xcel sheet manually ( appending to the bottom of an open sheet )

Appreciate advise on how to I can use xcel to do the cut and paste
automatically for me.

Thanks for any help

EXCEL 2007

1. Open an EXCEL file (the one I used was the following):-

C:\excel\import_data_using_a_web_query.xlsx

2. Data tab.

Get External Data group.

Click:-

From Web

The New Web Query window should open.

3.

In the:-

Address:

- field type in the address that you want to import; for example:-

http://webfund6.financialexpress.net.../Ourfunds.aspx

Click:-

Go

(At this point you can filter the data that you import by clicking on
the black arrows, on a yellow background, on the left hand side).

Click:-

Import

The Import Data window should now open.

4. Click in cell A1 (for example) then click:-

OK

The data will now be imported into the Workbook.
