Convert to a Parameter Query
I have a web query that was created by going to a web page
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=GE selecting Export to Excel, then selecting the specific data I want to download. This is the query created: WEB 1 http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=GE Selection=21,24,26,29,32,35,38,41,44,48,52,55,58 Formatting=None PreFormattedTextToColumns=True ConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne=True SingleBlockTextImport=False DisableDateRecognition=False DisableRedirections=False The problem is that this does not create a parameter query. For example, if you use Microsoft's stock quote web query there is a parameter option so that you can easily change the stock ticker. Is there a way to make the above query into a parameter query. -- Al Eaton |
