Web Query Changing URL
Jan 9, 2007
I Am trying to create a web query that will query all data from Yahoo business news the problem I am having is that they keep changing their URLs. That is they constantly change by date and title e.g. today wa have:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070108/...re/wall_street
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070108/...sprint_outlook
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070108/..._ge/home_depot
Is there a way to create a web query that can query the news every day and automatically adjust for URL changes?

I'm using excel 2010, looking to import a .xls file to a tab from a web query. Herein lies the problem: the .xls file is named based on the current date. So for instance, xLfile03.05.14.xls. Which changes the next day to xLfile03.06.14.xls. This is not a local file but one on microsoft sharepoint. It's ONLY available through sharepoint.

I have an MS Access query that contains a parameter. The parameter is a date field, and I have configured that in the Access query. If I run the query within the MS Access user interface, it prompts me for the paramater value as expected, and runs just fine. However, I want to connect to this query from within Excel as a data source.
I have created a connection to the Access file using ODBC from within Excel. In the MS Query window, I am merely selecting all of the fields resident in the MS Access query, and returning all values. In other words, there is no selection criteria in the MS Query. I have done this many times with Access queries that DO NOT contain a parameter, and everything works fine. However, in this instance, I need to pass a parameter through to MS Access in order for the query to run. At the moment, I get the "Too Few Paramaters...1 expected" error message. This makes sense, because I haven't figured out how to pass the paramater to MS Access.
Is there a way to structure this that does not involve VB code? If so, I'd love to know how. I have tried creating parameters in MS-Query with the same name, but although I get the prompt it doesn't connect with the Access query as the source for the parameter value.
If the solution requires using code, I'm good with VB Code in Excel...is there VB for Excel code that could make this happen?
Failing that, I guess there must be (I've seen a few in my search thus far) Access VB Code that can make this work. I'm very rusty using VB with Access, so this is my least favored solution. However, if this is the only option, keep in mind that I need to pass the paramater ultimately from a user who will initiate the process using Excel.

I have a csv file on another drive on the network that i need to query. I believe that ms query would be the best way. I know that a DSN needs to be setup but this macro will be used by various users who wont know how to do that. thus I would like to create one via VBA every time the task needs to be run.
I haven't a clue how to do this and i need it to be explained to me in general terms with words of one syllable!

I'm trying to query a query in Access 2003, from Excel 2003.
The query in Access looks like:
AccessQuery: [SELECT VBAFunction(field1) FROM Table]
The query in Excel looks like:
ExcelQuery: [SELECT * FROM AccessQuery]
I use the following VBA code in Excel to excecute the query:
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).QueryTables.Add(Connection:=strConnection, _
Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).Range("A1"), Sql:=strQuery)
.RowNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
iResultRowCount = .ResultRange.Rows.Count
End With
When I execute this code I get the error message 'SQL Syntax Error' (Error 1004). When I remove the VBA function from the query in Access, it all works fine.

I created an Ms Excel Database Query to bring in data from MS Access. (versions 2002 of MS Excel and Ms Access). The query works fine initially. I can right click, choose Edit Query and change my criteria. Results are returned almost instantly.
My problem is that, once I save the workbook, or autosave happens, I get an error when I right-click to Edit Query: This query cannot be edited by the Query Wizard..

Is it possible to set parameters on a query but use a wildcard to return all instances? I have a query that I want to be able to set multiple parameters on but give the user the ability to select as many or as few parameters as they want to see. 2 of the parameters are number fields and 2 are text fields with no spaces.

This may have been answered on here but can not seem to find it. My situation is I have values in A1,A2 & A3 that are like counter reading so the value is always changing. What I am looking to do is change the cell color if one of the values is over 500 from the other two values. Say A1 is 3000, A2 is 3250 and A3 is 3500. I would like the cell for A3 to change color.

Moving between different sheets changes the procedure window, which is a good thing, but can also can be error prone and annoying to search through several windows searching for the procedure or module currently working on. Is there a setting somewhere to prevent VBE from changing the current procedure window?

I have a spreadsheet which we use to rank scores for our golf society.
At the start of our season it was decided that if anyone of the top 3 scores were tied we would separate them using a second criteria(back nine score). Any scores from position 4 down would still be tied.
From searching this forum i have managed to separate ties using the 'back nine' second criteria(using a hidden helper column) but only for all the ranking positions not just the top 3.
I have attached the file.

how I would be able to weed out and remove previous references to query names.
For example if I have an external data query named "qry1 by week", then remove the query, then create another one, how do I use the same query name again? Surely there's a reference to it somewhere, that I can eliminate?

Here it goes.
My spreadsheet is populated by data coming from MS Query, i'm entering a parameter value to display the desired data in my spreadsheet. My problem is, i have to close and open the file to have the parameter prompt so in that case i can enter the parameter value.
Is there anyway to call the parameter prompt so i will not open and close the file, its really time consuming...
If possible, i just want a command button that calls the parameter prompt.

I am having problems getting to work a web query in a VBA macro. The goal is simply to get a value retrieved from a web query into an excel cell.
The below code works well with standard html pages (like replacing the url with www.google.com). However, the page I want to retreive (a query at geonames.org that retreives an altitude value for given lattitude/longitude values) does not contain any HTML headers, but just a number in plain text. In this case the below query does not returns anything. I tried different formating options for the query but up to nownothing works.

What my excel sheet is doing is importing a bunch of data from a query. I have all my queries linked to buttons through macros. There are going to be 20-30 buttons that are linked to a query, and each query will produce a different amount of data(in this case, account numbers). When pressing a button linked to a query(i also have one 'Clear' button that just deletes the data, thats all), i use a macro to delete the previous query so it can import the new query into the same cell. The problem I am having is that when a button is pushed and there is no query, I am getting an error message. Here is my original code(macro), and the underlined code is where i am getting the error

I need to create a web query.
I have lot of post codes which needs to be checked in a web page and the output column needs to be updated in the spreadsheet.
Link: - Find UK Postcodes Inside a Radius
for example: - The post code WD18 1TB will be there in Excel Sheet this has to be copied and pasted in the link in column
Step 2 : Click on map OR Place radius by location name or postcode
and Step 1 : Radius should be updated as 10 and then the Draw Radius needs to be clicked. Then the output needs to be copied (in this case the output is: AL2,HA1,HA2,HA3,HA4,HA5,HA6,HA7,HP3,UB9,WD1,WD17,WD18,WD19,WD2,WD23,WD24,WD25,WD3,WD4,WD5,WD6,WD7) in our spreadsheet in the next sheet.

I have some thousand web queries in an excel sheet, and now I need to get the hyerlinks from each of the query into cells in another sheet. I need this as the users in addition to looking at the data I have pulled need to access the actual webpages to look at the original report - where there are a lot of images that is not effective to put into my excel report.
What I want is to get the "name" value from the properties of the web queries, and then paste the value in a cell in another sheet. I can't seem to find any answers to how to extract the actual parameter values from a web query - but it seems like it should be possible...?

I'm using this macro in order to bring some data to two cells.. it's currently working great...
Sheets.Add
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;http://magpie.boise.itc.hp.com:8080/gip/fileStatus.jsp?transKey=GUS8301D&fileName=GUS8301DBN2AFH3M" _
, Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = "fileStatus.jsp?transKey=GUS8301D&fileName=GUS8301DBN2AFH3M"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
However, as you can see from the text in bold i'm currently telling the url instead of bringing it from a cell with an url. I want the macro to be able to select the url from a cell.
I'm trying to use this solution, but i keep getting a Run-time erro ´5´:
Invalid procedure call or argument.
connstring = Range("GUS8301!B3").Value
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=connstring, _
Destination:=Range("A1"))

Is there any way to use an Excel cell as a parameter for MS Query.
i.e. Select fields from table where field = "cell value"
I tried the $ ($D$5 ) got Invalid pseudocolumn error; which leads me to hope there might be a way to introduce a VALID pseudocolumn in my Query.

I am trying to create a web query that will automatically collect information from a dynamic web page. There are five tables on the web page that can appear. However, sometimes there are only 3 or 4 tables that appear.
The web page automatically updates every 60 seconds so I would like to have a web query check the site every 55 seconds.
I can do a query and get the information but I have to do it manually.

I have tried a couple times using MS Query to retrieve data from some rather complex Excel source files. I seem to be able to load the data into MS Query....and even add criteria and some calculated fields. However, every time I go to Return Data to the spreadsheet....it just hangs.
I'm using Excel 2003. Anyone know of any issues with doing this?

i have recorded a macro wherein i need to copy paste some data in my database everyday.
now the problem is tht the macro doesnot catch the last row.
for instance if i paste data today in A2:A10
tomorrow it should automatically paste data starting from A11.
the range of data tht i copy is not fixed.
This is a part of macro...
Range("A1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select (This takes me to the last record on that row)
is there anyway i can copy the data in next column?
'Range("A11").Select (This will work only for the first time when i run the macro)
but if i use the same one tomorrow
Range("A1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select This will take me to the last record but..
it will again go to
'Range("A11").Select
and then paste records there
