Hi Everyone,
I have this Macro that is brilliant and brings in all my email data from a folder in outlook into my excel sheet,

The only problem is this line,
"
"ws.Range("F" & r).Value = olMail.Body"

because people are replying to my email it brings in everything including my original email.
now i need to auto a check to see if they have replied yes or no which i can do but I need the text body to only be the reply not everything
is there any way we can check my macro so it only brings in the reply body text?

thanks
Tony
Heres my code:

VBA Code:
Sub ExtractEmailContent()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application, olNs As Namespace, olFolder As MAPIFolder, _
olMail As MailItem, eFolder As folder, ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
Set olNs = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

Dim fldr As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Set fldr = olNs.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Replys")
 r = 2
 
For Each olMail In fldr.Items

                    ws.Range("A" & r).Value = olMail.Subject
                    ws.Range("B" & r).Value = olMail.ReceivedTime
                    ws.Range("C" & r).Value = olMail.SenderName
                    ws.Range("D" & r).Value = olMail.cc
                    ws.Range("F" & r).Value = olMail.Body
                    ws.Range("E" & r).Value = olMail.SenderEmailAddress
                    r = r + 1

    Next

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Back into an answer in Excel
Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
The body is the body. If earlier emails are quoted they are part of the body, not some separate component. The only way to exclude them is to write code to parse the body and just extract the part you want. The problem with that is that there is no one standard way to quote earlier emails in a reply. If you are in an organization where everyone uses the same mail format it might be possible, if you provide a sample of an email.

BTW why did you make your entire post a quote?

Thanks Jeff,
I think what i'm going to do is import all the data then split it once its in the excel sheet which should be quite easy.
Thanks for your help
Tony
