Novice trying to call a web service using Excel 2003
I am trying to import the results of a web service into Excel 2003. However,
the user is able to change the parameters of the web service depending the type of request. The goal is to perform this task without having the user install any addition software on their side. I have looked at a couple of approaches. First, manipulating the URL of the webservice and providing the querystring with it and calling a querytable. This approach works, however when the data is returned, it is not returned in a user friendly presentation. The second method I have tried is using XMLImport. Used a similiar approach as with querytables and manipulated the URL of the webservice and performing the import. This works really well, in fact returns the data in a user friendly presentation. The issue with this method is that I cannot get the data to refresh, if the user changes the parameters for the webservice. XMLImport seems to be the better method of calling the web service, but how do I or is it possible to have the data refresh upon user input? Thank you in advance. |
