Hi guys, I hope you are all well.

I have a program that exports data in a .html file. I want to create a spreadsheet to automatically import this data (or allow me to click refresh when it has been updated) so that I can query it and automatically update charts etc.

I cannot seem to find a way to do this. Is this possible?

Thanks for any help.

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
To add to this, on Windows, I can select the 'from web' option, paste in the link to my document, e.g., C:\Users\ etc. and then import it. However, on a mac it says 'from HTML' and only lets me navigate to the saved .html file. When I select it, Excep opens it in a new workbook and thus, doesn't allow a connection that I can refresh when the .html is updated.

Perhaps this is another limitation of Excel for mac, but thought I'd check with you guys first.

I'm not really sure on the rules for bumping a thread, but I could really go with an answer, or work around for this.

Thanks
