Hi,

Do the following:

1. On the Data menu, point to Insert External Data, and then click New Web
Query.
The New query dialog box is displays.
2. Click the Stop icon to stop the default url getting executed.
3. In the Address box, enter this url : http://quote.yahoo.com/ and click
the Go button.
4. Click the yellow arrow next to the table you want to import. When you
click the yellow arrow it appears as tick mark. Click all those portion of
the web page you want to import by clicking the yellow arrow.
5. Click the Import button to return to the import Data dialog box.
6. Specify the cell location where you want the imported data to be
displayed. There are two option, whether you want it at the existing location
or in a New worksheet. In our case case let assume the cell position is =$E$31
7. Click Ok to return to the active Worksheet. The excel displays the
following message "Getting Data..." and the External Data Toolbar is displayed
8. Click the refresh icon to refresh data .
