Hi,

I am trying to create a web connection to a website that has a drop down with a list of plan id's.

The drop down list on the website refreshes several times a week and i want to pass a parameter that selects the plan id at the very top of the drop down list.

Unfortunately the plan id's are generated at random so it's not possible to create a cell reference to pull the latest id.

Here is an example of the url (for security purposes this isn't a live url) - is there anyway to pass a parameter that would automatically select the latest plan id highlighted in red below (i.e. the 1st item in the drop down)?
