Import External Data/New WEB Query
I have a spreadsheet that does a Data/Import External Data/Web Query to get
data from a table on a web page. It has worked for years. On January 31, a change was made to the web page and my query stopped working with the following message: "Unable to open http://finance.yahoo.com/p?v&k=pf_1. ; The internet site reports that a connection was established but the data is not available." (The actual url varies. This happens with multiple pages while wotking with other pages from the same provider.) I have redone the query with the same results. I tried MSN and also got the same results. Yahoo'sresponse was they they don't know what the problem is but it isn't anything at their end so they can't/won't do anything. I really rely on this feature and it's absence is hurting. Anyone got any ideas? I have also discovered through posts like this, that I am not the only one getting this error on various pages. Since i know the web page changeed, does anyone know what one does to a web page that produces this result? Carl (Running current XP and Office 2003) |
