forming Ticker-Tape in Status Bar after running web Query
Hi,
I am trying to retrieve data from an external webpage which refreshes automatically every 15 secs. It displays the list of agent ID's logged in to our system at a particular time. The webpage shows a data in table format similar to this: Agent ID TimeOnCall someothercolumns 1) Is it possible to SORT the extracted data on a worksheet OR a locally available webpage file on a network drive, 2) Show the AgentID's along with LAST TimeOnCall for that agent who logged out, (scrolling or displayed) in the Status Bar of a Worksheet or webpage, by which I would come to know that this agent has just logged out & is not working? So that i can approach the agent & ask him to login again. Any Help would be appreciated! Thanking you in advance. Eijaz --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

If you put the data in the worksheet, it can be sorted.
If the list is a list of agents logged in, then you would need a list of all agents and have to make a comparison against this list to determine who isn't logged in. If you want to build a test string of this write code to animate it by removing a character from one end and adding a character to other, then you can put this information in the status bar. Excel provides no particular support for the animation and it would be time intensive - distracting from you 15 sec refresh of the data in the web page. I can't say what you can do with a web page. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy gr8guy wrote in message ... Hi, I am trying to retrieve data from an external webpage which refreshes automatically every 15 secs.

forming Ticker-Tape in Status Bar after running web Query
Hi,
Both of you are not getting what i am trying to do! I am extracting the tabular data to a worksheet from a webpage which shows the Agents logged in to our outbound/inbound dailer system. this webpage refreshes itself in 15 secs. Ok. Now, after i extract data on a worksheet, i want to also refresh the worksheet every 15 secs in sync with the webpage. Ok. Now, the extracted data could be sorted and then matched with a helper column in the worksheet which would contain the full list of agent ID's in our Dept. But, if suppose after 15 secs, one of the agent ID is missing from the extracted list, the Match would fail and his LAST logged in time and ID name (when his ID name appeared last time, 15 secs prior to refresh) should reflect in the worksheet status bar as a scrolling text or just show up there for some time. The need for scrolling text is bcos if there are more than one agents logged out, their names would reflect one after the other in the scrolling text. I know that there would be variables to define & some use of the Timer & TimeOut event. Something like this in the status bar: eijazs - 12:55:03 am......zaki - 12:57:04 am ...etc. This way i can keep a track of whose logged in and who's logged out, getting the agent strength on the floor sitting at one place. No need for me to go and individually check approx 200 agents on the floor. Regards, Eijaz "Charles" wrote in message om... "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

You'll have 4 lists.
1. The webpage list 2. A current copy of the webpage list 3. A copy of the webpage list as it was 15 seconds ago with timestamp 4. A list of all Agents Copy list 2 to list 3 Copy list 1 to list 2 For all agents in list 2, write status of "logged in" against agent in list 4 For all agents in list 3 minus agents in list 2, write timestamp against agent in list 4 Refresh ticker string using list 4 agents where agent not "logged in" You'll need another timer type procedure running in the background which manipulates the Application.StatusBar text using the ticker string. -- Rob van Gelder - http://www.vangelder.co.nz/excel "gr8guy" wrote in message ...

Hi, Both of you are not getting what i am trying to do! I am extracting the tabular data to a worksheet from a webpage which shows the Agents logged in to our outbound/inbound dailer system. this webpage refreshes itself in 15 secs. Ok. Now, after i extract data on a worksheet, i want to also refresh the worksheet every 15 secs in sync with the webpage. Ok. Now, the extracted data could be sorted and then matched with a helper column in the worksheet which would contain the full list of agent ID's in our Dept. But, if suppose after 15 secs, one of the agent ID is missing from the extracted list, the Match would fail and his LAST logged in time and ID name (when his ID name appeared last time, 15 secs prior to refresh) should reflect in the worksheet status bar as a scrolling text or just show up there for some time. The need for scrolling text is bcos if there are more than one agents logged out, their names would reflect one after the other in the scrolling text. I know that there would be variables to define & some use of the Timer & TimeOut event. Something like this in the status bar: eijazs - 12:55:03 am......zaki - 12:57:04 am ...etc. This way i can keep a track of whose logged in and who's logged out, getting the agent strength on the floor sitting at one place. No need for me to go and individually check approx 200 agents on the floor. Regards, Eijaz "Charles" wrote in message om... "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ... If you put the data in the worksheet, it can be sorted. If the list is a list of agents logged in, then you would need a list of all agents and have to make a comparison against this list to determine who isn't logged in. If you want to build a test string of this write code to animate it by removing a character from one end and adding a character to other, then you can put this information in the status bar. Excel provides no particular support for the animation and it would be time intensive - distracting from you 15 sec refresh of the data in the web page. I can't say what you can do with a web page. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy gr8guy wrote in message ... Hi, I am trying to retrieve data from an external webpage which refreshes automatically every 15 secs. It displays the list of agent ID's logged in to our system at a particular time. The webpage shows a data in table format similar to this: Agent ID TimeOnCall someothercolumns 1) Is it possible to SORT the extracted data on a worksheet OR a locally available webpage file on a network drive, 2) Show the AgentID's along with LAST TimeOnCall for that agent who logged out, (scrolling or displayed) in the Status Bar of a Worksheet or webpage, by which I would come to know that this agent has just logged out & is not working? So that i can approach the agent & ask him to login again. Any Help would be appreciated! Thanking you in advance. Eijaz --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

forming Ticker-Tape in Status Bar after running web Query
Hi Rob,
A very good morning to you. The difference is evident. the one which you supplied is located in the bottom left side of status bar and does not scroll across status bar but appears a scrambled name. and the one which i provided (javascript), scrolls ACROSS the status bar, probably because of the spaces in front and after text. The need for a scrolling text message is : 1) a scrolling marquee cannot be created in a worksheet itself, as it is an array of cells (like a scrolling marquee in a webpage). 2) i need it like that because there would be many agents getting logged out, so their AgentId & time on which they logged out would reflect in the scrolling text msg (from left to right, or right to left) across the status bar. So I would be able to see (for some time) the no of agents logged out in the current duration. the ticker-tape would hold variables for suppose 3 agents & run, till further agents get logged out & then the variables would automatically be updated with the new AgentIDs & run along status bar. So probably, if no agents logged out the last agents IDs would show in the scrolling ticker-tape. e.g. scrolling like this: ....eijazs - 1:05 am ....... hzaki - 1:10 am.....saireen - 1:12am........rocka - 1:15 am........jeank - 1:25 am........eijazs - 1:05am.... I dont know if its a great or stupid idea, but there should be a workaround of creating a code which would find the agents logged out & the corresponding time they logged out from the refreshing webpage. I have never dealt with web-queries before & finding it difficult as to how to create a code or a work-around which would show the agents logged out. And right now, i am getting a stupid error when i access the webpage: "excel has generated errors and will close the application. a log file has been created." Do you know why this is happening? Is there any way we can workout a codable solution for my problem? Best Regards, Eijaz --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

I don't know what you did differently, but the version at my end scrolls and
isn't scrambled.

forming Ticker-Tape in Status Bar after running web Query
Hi Rob
Thanks for your reply See, what i mean is i get the agentId's in Suppose Col A, and their logged in time in Col B I want to collect the AgentID's & Logged-in-Time in variables(or an array for each Column A & B) & then pass them to the TickerTape function which will display them scrolling one - after - the other across the length of the Statusbar, either from left to right direction or from right to left direction similar to a scrolling Marquee on a webpage which travels horizontally across the webpage after the 15 sec refresh, new data will be loaded by webQuery, in the columns A & B on the worksheet & that would be taken in the variables(or array) and then passed to TickerTape function which will show the AgentID's & their logout time, one-after-the-other scrolling across the length of the statusbar Could you please convert the Javascript code which i submitted to VBA for me inorder to get the same effect which it shows on the webpage And what about the Excel error (excel generated errors......will close......a log file has been created). do you why its happening? is it because of version of IE used(IE 4.0) or because of the particular webpage i am accessing, which is on our company intranet Best Regards Eija ----- Rob van Gelder wrote: ---- I did!
