is it possible in Excel to read value from url every 5 mins.
this html url has a time which is updated every 5 mins, I want excel to read that time from that url every 7 or so mins. so after that I can write another code if time didn't change it will notifity me or do whatever I need to do after that.
I am trying to parse a section of html into excel but I don't know how to parse into a new row with each pattern rotation. I can do this both in Word and notepad++, but I can't find the same function of replace-with-line-break in excel's find-and-replace box.
Original html extract:
"shb":{"landline":"£1","mobile":"£1","text":"8p","mms":"24p"},"af":{"landline":"18p","mobile":"18p","text":"8p","mms":"24p"},"ak":{"landline":"3p","mobile":"3p","text":"8p","mms":"24p"},"al":{"landline":"10p","mobile":"25p","text":"8p","mms":"24p"},"dz":{"landline":"5p","mobile":"27p","text":"8p","mms":"24p"},
Results I need:

There is only one line as such in the entire page, so I don't need to loop through "blocks" of html codes with multiple lines.
I have had a look around and not sure what would be a good way to tackle this. RegEx (how to do it in excel macro)? HTML tags parsing (but these are not strictly tags)? I need to extract the correct section from page source as well, but I imagine this shouldn't be too hard. The url to the page I am extracting from is [URL] ........
I am familiar with VBA, but this one has me stumped! Basically, I want to have Excel fill out an Aspx form, submit it, and then pull in the data from the html table that the form produces. There are multiple queries it would have to do, so I would want it to loop through until it is done with my list of inputs. I don't even know where to start...
The website I need to pull data from is: [URL]
On the form, there are multiple fields, but the one I am interested in is the "Study Area Code." An example input I would have in this field is "529910." I would have a different sheet in my workbook with all the SACs I need to pull.
My vision for the end result is to have all the data pulled into one sheet.
I have roughly 100 HTML files, each containing a single table of formatted data (created with the SAS statistical software package).
I realize that I can open an HTML file with Excel, do what I need (e.g., copy, format, save as an Excel file), but I would like to try to automate the process, if at all possible, even if it's simply open the HTML file and save it as Excel. That would save me quite a few clicks it seems.
Ideally I could pass a directory name to Excel (via VBA) and have a series of "operations" (i.e., save as an Excel file) performed on each HTML file in the directory, ultimately resulting in a corresponding collection of "new" files (in my case, Excel files).
If this was very fancy, I would love to take each HTML file and copy the one table in each, and paste into a separate worksheet in a new Excel file (so 100 HTML files would result in one Excel file with 100 worksheets).
I did try to generate a macro while using the Import External Data "tool", but didn't have luck with that (although I am able to get the tool to work, just not within a macro environment).
I am looking for a macro that can export excel spreadsheet data to html. I found one that looks perfect for my needs on another site, however it will not work. I have tried to contact the site's owner, but his site does not seem to be contactable any longer. I thought I would try to post my problem here. The script gives me runtime error '76' and debug highlights the following lines:
Open pagename For Output As fnPrint #fn, top$;Print #fn, body$;
Original script is as follows:
Code:
'
' Here are some values you can set to suit yourself
'
' Any file names that are blank -- i.e. "" -- will not be used
' and will not adversely affect the appearance of your page
'
Const html_title = "Interesting Web Sites" ' appears here
Const page_title = "Some of my favorite 'places' ..." ' shows on page

I have designed an excel user form which can be used by managers to enter the delay hours for the employees which gets saved in excel. The form works fine I need to share this form to the managers. How can I do that ? I have individual worksheets for each managers and as soon as they enter the details in the user form the data gets stored in their respective sheets.
So how can I share this such that all the managers should be able to access it.
I was thinking if this is possible through web by saving my file as Html..
I have received several hundred "Excel" data file dumps from an unspecified corporate database ( SAP? ). They are nominally spreadsheets, that is they are tables of mixed data that Excel recognizes, as they are exported from the database as such.
I'd like to walk a directory containing these files, and only these files, open each in turn save them as proper Excel files and close them. The end goal is to import these tables into a Access database, but Access doesn't recognize them either. I also need to repair values in one field which is easier to accomplish in Excel.
Unfortunately, opening the file generates an error I've been unable to trap, due to the fact the excel thinks its an HTML file, which it is, and wants me to verify that I do want to open it. Similarly, I receive a message when I try to save the file that requires me to nominate an acceptable Excel file type, which I can do in code.
How i can save my excel file as HTML but keep my formatting stay exactly the same as my excel file?

Im trying to use excel as part of an real time display system, what im looking to do is after xx time period import some data (which is fine, I have that bit sorted), then save to as html- (hopefully using excel 07 abilty to repubish data to update the same file with more info).
I have added some Javascript to the html file to auto scroll, and then will be adding a refresh script which should hopefully update the display with any new info genrated from excel...
so far I have found the following code, but could do with a hand to tie it all up!
Code:
Public Sub Watchon()
State = "Mointoring Folder..."
Timerun = Now() + TimeValue("00:10:00")
Application.OnTime Timerun, "DetectNewFiles"
Userform1.Nextupdate.Caption = ">Next Update will be @: (" & Timerun & ")"
With ActiveWorkbook.PublishObjects.Add(xlSourceSheet, _
[code]....
Then within DetectNewFiles Sub, I need to update the html data, I guess I can't reuse the above bit, as it would just overwirte the whole file (and so remove javascripts too).
Code:
Sub DetectNewFiles
'Some code to import text files to excel
With ActiveWorkbook.PublishObjects("Book1_24990")
.Publish (False)
.AutoRepublish = True
End With
Some code to reset next time update of DetectNewFiles
Link: Create a workbook from every worksheet in your workbook
It works great, but is it possible to modify this to export each worksheet as an html file instead of an Excel workbook?
I'm using Excel 2003.
I am copying a large table of data from a report generated in Firefox and pasting it into Excel 2010. The data has several columns of html checkboxes. I need to do two things with the checkboxes and would like to do a third:
1: Count how many checkboxes are ticked in each of the columns.
2: Compare a column A of checkboxes to a column B containing numbers, and then both count and highlight any row where the checkbox is ticked but column B is a 0.
3: (optional) I would like to erase the html checkboxes and, if the box was checked, replace it with a regular x in the underlying cell.
I found some code on another forum that generates a list of values for each checkbox (vba - Obtain the value of an HTML Checkbox inserted in Excel worksheet - Stack Overflow).
Based on that, I recorded a macro to extract the html Name of a single checkbox and then set up a Vlookup for the True/False value. However, I can't figure out how to automate a vlookup for every individual checkbox and put the data in the appropriate underlying cell.
How to covert a Excel worksheet to HTML format as outlook's stationary and then call out Outlook to send it as a normal HTML mail, not a attachment mail?
View 4 Replies View RelatedGetting some web page data into Excel 2010 using VBA. My scenario however is set up with the following titles in cell A1, B1, C1, D1 and E1 : POST CODE, OUTLET, ADDRESS, TELEPHONE, EMAIL
The result I want to achieve is I enter a post code into cell A2 for example, Excel then uses IE to navigate to the relevant web page as defined in the VBA code. I then want the following to happen:
The InnerText of the web page's h1 tag is then inserted into the OUTLET cell (B2)The first instance of the p tag is then inserted into the ADDRESS cell (C2)The second instance of the p tag is then inserted into the TELEPHONE cell (D2)The third instance of the p tag is then inserted into the EMAIL cell (E2)
All instances of the p tag are contained in a div element called div class="adBox_content" . There are also 5 other DIVs above that DIV in the hierarchy.
Using the YouTube tutorial link, the method has worked for me using the getElementsByTagName("h1").innerText
However, when I try adding a second getElementsByTagName("p")(01).innerText the whole thing fails.
So I'm left with two problems; I can't make the VBA get more than one element at a time from the page, I can only either have the h1 or the first instance of the p tag. I've tried all the getElementBy methods and none of them seem to work in getting the second and third instances to show.
I also need the code to make the data be put on the same row ONLY as where the post code was entered. In this scenario for example of entering a post code into A2, the OUTLET needs to land in cell B2 only, ADDRESS C3 only etc.
By following the youtube tutorial above by giving the cells names to refer to in the code, the data ends up being inputted in all further rows with identical cell names. I need it to not do that.
The code is needed for around 300 rows of post codes that will be entered and refreshed every week or so.
I am attempting to navigate to a webpage using IE. I have been successful at getting to the appropriate webpage.
However, I would like to open a link within the webpage in the browser in another window(Which is an image). Copy the image then paste it back into excel. I have been successful at opening the webpage using a Userform.
Code:
Sub Anthro()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
With ie
.Visible = True
[Code] .......
The user input number for example:
If the user inputs the number 25423310 into the txtbox then it navigates to a certain webpage.
On this webpage and all other webpages where different #'s are used are very similar. The number (25423310) is always used to identify an image. However it has more characters. For example the image is always on line 30 of the HTML code. On this example the HTML code lists the image as:
The number used in the txtbox to naviagete to the URL Ex: 25423310) is always within line 30 of code in HTML. Is it possible to run a query or parse this line of code and direct ie to open this image in a new window then copy and paste it based on the criteria of the user input? Ex. 25423310?
Code:
Sub PropInfo()
Dim appIE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Set appIE = New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim varTables, varTable

I have a folder containing 40 single sheet excel workbooks and I would like to automate following tasks:
- Open each excel file (need to open the file so as to update it since it gets the data from another workbook through =formulas)
- Copy paste as values
- Save this as excel html in the same folder as original excel files (keeping the original file name)
- Close (original excel file should not be changed ie formulas should remain in place, only the html file will contain values)
- Since there will always be xHtml files with same name need the macro to replace the excisting file
My abilities with excel are limited to functions, no VBA knowledge other than finding ready codes and pasting them in the module.
Since this routine is to be run almost daily the macro should run all files, instead of one by one.
I just hope that I am not asking too much for excel to handle and I hope that explanation is clear.
I have an excel file which is shared by multiple users. I would like to make one person to have read,write or edit permissions and rest of the users to have only read only permissions.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a excel file that opens and will automatically run a bunch of tasks if a certain user opens it. This user is only used to automatically run this excel file, other users need to open the file occasionally to edit emails address, add clients etc stuff like that, that the automation part of it works off.
Currently I have this user running the file every hour using Win7 Task Scheduler. This is working well, except for the time when another user is editing the file on the hour and of course the Automated user gets the "this file is open blah blah blah, open as read only, cancel etc" popup, this stalls everything, and if I dont notice it, it could sit like this for days.
The file runs in Read Only fine, so... Basically my question is, how to open this file as "Read Only" using Task Scheduler? As if it just ran as Read Only all the time then it wouldnt matter what other users were editing at any given time.
One of my ideas was to have Task Scheduler run a VBS script instead of running the Excel file directly, and having the VBS script simply load the Excel as Read Only.

When an Excel document crashes, I get the option to recover the document the next time I open Excel. However, if it is a read-only file, I don't get this option.
Is there any way around this? I usually work in read-only documents, saving my changes to new documents. If the read-only file I'm working in crashes.
I'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.
Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:
- Renaming
- Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me)
- Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.
This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently created a macro which takes a .csv file and scrubs the data and dresses it up for a report. I've finally got it running without any problems and have added it individually to 5 different user accounts on my network as an add-in, but need a way to share it across a computer network without allowing others to edit the file.
The report is generated multiple times a day by the different users, none of whom are very computer literate (not that I am much better, myself), and the macro over-writes the old file each time. I've read that it's possible to simply create a shortcut to the file that automatically opens the spreadsheet in read-only format, which would be perfect for what I'm trying to do, but I haven't been able to get it to work so far.
My current shortcut pathway is similar to this:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice15EXCEL.EXE" /R "C:UsersBenDocumentsOT Master.xlsx"
On my computer at work (Windows 7) the shortcut simply opens the spreadsheet so that anyone can edit it, instead of as a read-only file. On my computer at home (I'm trying to experiment) (windows 8.1) it won't even let me save the shortcut, saying I need to provide administrator permission & then cutting to a window that says "access denied".
I won't have the pathway for the actual file I'm trying to create a shortcut for until tomorrow when I get back to work, but I've formatted it essentially the same, directing to the excel.exe file, running the switch "/R", and then directing it to the actual file location.
The ultimate goal is to have multiple people be able to view the file without locking out those who need to update it.
i have a file that needs to have daily postings to it, I would like for it to automatically generate today's date and then if you change figure 1, it carries over to figure 2.
