Yahoo + "Get External Data"
If you wanted to use the get external data - web query to download a yahoo finance spreadsheet automatically, is there anyway to get it to download and get it into proper column format automatically? E.g., you want to have an automatic spreadsheet from http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/tabl...a=1&b=1&c=1980 so you use that as the web query, except it downloads it as comma deliminted, NON-COLUMIZED (i.e., just 1 big column). The only way I can figure out how to get it into columns is to manually do it, but certainly there's got to be some way to get it to automatically sort upon download w/o you ahving to click through to tell it to. -- 99atlantic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 99atlantic's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31194 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=508611 |
