Highlight New Data from Web Table Import
I'm using Excel 2007's built-in 'data from web' to pull in a table that is
sorted alphabetically. The content of the table gets updated with new info added to the existing info so the table grows and nothing gets deleted. I'd like to be able to automatically have whatever is new since the last import be highlighted in some way so I can easily scan the spreadsheet and find those new lines. I've tried all sorts of formatting for the existing data but the new items inherit that formatting. Any ideas on highlighting the changes? I don't care if I have to manually un-do the highlighting for the next time the table gets updated, but just being able to see the new stuff at the time of importing is the important part. |

Highlight New Data from Web Table Import
Thanks for the reply, Don, but I'm not doing this via macros. I'm just using
the standard "From Web" button on the Data tab. I point to a table on a URL and import it. Well, I guess technically that's a macro behind the scenes, eh?

Highlight New Data from Web Table Import
AFAIK, you would need a macro. Do you always use the same info for the url
or are there variables? If desired, send me your file and I'll take a look. -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "tonydi" wrote in message ...

All of the ones I've done so far have been to the same URL's with no
variables. I'll email you a sample file. Thanks! "Don Guillett" wrote: AFAIK, you would need a macro. Do you always use the same info for the url or are there variables?
