Automatically extract website data to a spreadsheet

[Corried]

Hello, Thank you for sharing..

I am looking for courses on how to automatically extract data from a website to an excel spreadsheet.

The excel file contains fifty links. Each link has the same process, to create a stock market report for fifty companies. Use macro and chrome to generate data.

Can anyone show me a step by step process on how I can do this?

Please watch the video and Excel workbook below to learn more.

I hope you all understand.

Cheers

I solved the popup issue by opening a new tab, where it does not load.

For our last test, the partial code below should be enough.

If it breaks, tell me the line.

Good day Worf. I am sorry. I am not sure if you got my message. Your last code have worked successfully. The only problem the code did not pasted all the data in the cells. The data was only paste for one company...

I was not sure if you design the code to worked for testing. But I am glad not to see any errors involved... Thanks

Yes, that is only test code. We need to run it again in a couple of days to see if it breaks, unfortunately I think it will.

My theory is that the HTML source code continuously changes.

Hello Worf.

I am sorry, yesterday while typing my keyboard, not functioning the way it should suddenly.
Please forgive me. I have not seen your email notification since last Tuesday...
I have tested the macro again. It's functioning, but still missing some pieces of the puzzle.

I ran it today and got an error at D2.
I will try to find out what is happening during the week.
