Hi-
I'm having problems using web queries to analyize a list of data in regards to performance horse sales for the year 2005. In the sales that I'm looking at, there are about 2000 horses and I need to find out how much each one earned. I have an excel sheet that I have all of the horses names in one column but I've been having difficulties with getting the internet to return the values that I need. Here is how to do it manually Look up the horse's name in the column go to http://www.nchacutting.com/cgi-bin/horseinfo.pl?2 enter the horse's name in the dialog box and click resulting page URL is http://www.nchacutting.com/cgi-bin/horseinfo.pl?3 and has horse earnings data Is there any way to use a web query for this? I couldn't get the web query wizard to get what I needed so then I tried playing around with .iqy files but I wasn't sure what to put after: WEB 1 http://www.nchacutting.com/cgi-bin/horseinfo.pl?2 or if that's even what I should be using. I'm assuming that if I could get the web query to work, I'd probably have to use some if statements to filter out the earnings data that I want into a seperate colums. Here are a couple of horse names that are in the system if you'd like to play around with it: High Brow Cat Smart Little Rondee Mecom Blue Royal Boonsmal Peptoboonsmal Royal Fletch Smart Little Lena At first glance, this looks relatively easy but has proved to be exceedingly difficult. Any help would be much appreciated! :) -Katy |
