Can Excel VBA search for and read URL
I want Excel to import data from the website
http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/ for given postcodes, unfortunately it only works if you physically type in the postcode on the web, as putting the postcode into the PHP style URL doesn't work. Is Excel able to do that? Basically I want something like this With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _ "URL;http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/ LeadKeyFigures.do?a=3&b=5939933&c=" & Cells(i, 17) & "&d=14&e=16&g=409939&i=1001x1003x1004&m=0&enc= 1" Dirk |

Sorry I should have been more clear, it does work mechanically, but it
doesn't pick up the right area, the area is bascially determined by b=5939933. Dirk |

Since I am not familiar with UK numbers and you can't explain it to
me,perhaps someone else can help. -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "Dirk Nachbar" wrote in message ps.com... Sorry I should have been more clear, it does work mechanically, but it doesn't pick up the right area, the area is bascially determined by b=5939933. Dirk |
