Excel VBA Macro to Scrape Webpages

Hi there, I am a complete beginner working on this macro. The goal is to have it input pickup numbers from an excel spreadsheet, put them on the carrier's website form, submit, then pull the results into excel. Which is essentially what I have managed to figure out so far. Now my roadblock is figuring out how to format it into excel so it's easy to read. (If there are more efficient ways to write what I already have please let me know.)


There is a lot of stuff commented out because I have been trying different techniques from all across the web. With varying amounts of success. I would like to get the code to put the results into the same worksheet as the pickup numbers. In the column next to the pickup number column so it can quickly be determined if the shipment has been picked up yet or not.
If that's not possible then outputting to a new sheet also works. Just so long as the information lines up with the corresponding pickup number.

Now on the carriers website after the code submits the pickup numbers. I need it to take "Shipment spotted on trailer JBHUXXXXXX" and if that isn't displayed. I need it to output "Arrived at destination service center" with the time and location as well. An example of this result is under 145-5244858-2.

Everything is stored in tables inside tables with the main table having "boxTableBorder" as the class name.

Code:
Sub TracePickupNumbers()

Dim IE As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim HTMLDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument


IE.Visible = True
IE.navigate "http://www.centraltransportint.com/confirm/trace.aspx"


Do While IE.ReadyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE
Loop


Dim str As String
Dim arr() As Variant
Dim tablerow As Integer
Dim tablecol As Integer


arr = Range("A2:A7")


For tablerow = LBound(arr) To UBound(arr)
    For tablecol = LBound(arr, 2) To UBound(arr, 2)
        str = str & arr(tablerow, tablecol) & vbTab
    Next tablecol
    str = str & vbNewLine
Next tablerow


With IE.Document
    .all("_ctl0_lstType").Value = "PuN"
'    .all("_ctl0_lstType").fireevent.onchange() 'Gives syntax error
    .all("_ctl0:traceNumbers").innerText = "1"
    .all("_ctl0:traceSubmit").Click
End With


Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"))

    .all("_ctl0:traceNumbers").innerText = str
    .all("_ctl0:traceSubmit").Click

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
For sure.

Here are a couple pickup numbers and the corresponding info for each one:

Try this code, which uses IE automation to search multiple pickup numbers at once and extract the results into the cell to the right of each pickup number. The pickup numbers are expected to be in the first worksheet in column A starting at A2.

You must set the two references noted at the top of the code, otherwise the code won't compile or run.

Tested and working on IE11, although the coding was quite tricky due to the way the web page works (I've no idea why it requires a dummy number to be input and traced first), and the fact that IE11 creates a second (hidden) window which the VBA IE object references instead of the correct window with the results. The only workaround I've found to fix this is to hide and show the IE window at certain places in the code, so you'll see the IE window disappearing and appearing when the macro is run.

Code:

It works!! Seriously, you are incredible. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to work on this!


Now I have a couple questions. Is there any sort of limit to the amount of pick up numbers that the macro can search at a time? (like max 50 pickup numbers at a time?)

After some testing I found it occasionally doesn't pull back the results.
When I searched for these pickup numbers, for example:
PU-958-111307203285
PU-958-111307302567
PU-958-111307304061
PU-958-111307010764
PU-906-111307202868
PU-946-110607304322
PU-946-110607301852
PU-925-110307105066
PU-923-110807314268
PU-925-110810105172

<tbody>
</tbody>

The pickup number, PU-946-110607304322, doesn't return a result into excel. It leaves an empty cell next to it. It's the last one on the results page so I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.

I also tried this set of pick up numbers:
PU-923-110607200115
PU-923-110707403174
PU-925-111415404987
PU-925-111508010386
PU-925-111508201554
PU-925-111507220659

<tbody>
</tbody>

And only the first one returned its results. I got a "Run-time error 424: Object required" on the following line:

Code:
PuNumber = infoTables(i + 2).Rows(2).Cells(3).innerText

I'm sorry to come back to you with more trouble because you have absolutely blown me away already. However, if you could take a look back at this, I would be even more grateful.

Again, thank you so much! I really appreciate your help.

Each shipment result occupies a set of 5 or 4 HTML tables. 5 tables if it has a 'heading' in bold, e.g. 145-4198298-0, or 4 if it doesn't.

Replace the For i = 0 .... Next block of code with this which increments the 'i' table index accordingly:

Code:
    i = 0
    While i < infoTables.Length - 1
        
        Set infoTable = infoTables(i)
        
        PuNumber = infoTables(i + 2).Rows(2).Cells(3).innerText
        Debug.Print PuNumber
    
        If InStr(1, infoTable.Rows(0).Cells(1).innerText, "Shipment was Spotted", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
        
            result = infoTable.Rows(0).Cells(1).innerText
        
        Else
            
            Set infoTable = infoTables(i + 1)
            result = infoTable.Rows(0).Cells(1).innerText & "; " & _
                     infoTable.Rows(1).Cells(1).innerText & "; " & _
                     infoTable.Rows(2).Cells(1).innerText & "; "
            
        End If
    
        'Find this Pickup number in Excel cells and if found put result in adjacent cell
        
        PuNumberRow = Application.Match(PuNumber, pickupNumberCells, 0)
        If Not IsError(PuNumberRow) Then
            pickupNumberCells(PuNumberRow, 2).Value = result
        Else
            MsgBox "Pickup number " & PuNumber & " in results not found in cells " & pickupNumberCells.Address
        End If
        
        'Increment table index for next shipment, depending on whether this shipment has a 'heading' table in bold, e.g. 145-5545080-9
        
        If Trim(infoTables(i).innerText <> "") Then
            i = i + 5   'heading table
        Else
            i = i + 4   'no heading table
        End If
        
    Wend
Tested working with your 2 sets of pickup numbers above.

The macro extracts all shipments on the results page, however I don't know if the website has a limit on the maximum number of pickup numbers you can input on the search page or whether it puts the results on multiple pages, in which case the macro would only extract the results from the first page.

Holy cow!! This is so good! Thank you so much!!


Two more questions.

1. How can I make separate the results into columns from the ";"?

I tried text-to-columns in excel and told it to separate by semi-colon.
However, the city and state end up disappearing. I tried tinkering around in your code to make it work but I'm not sure what needs to change. I also tried recording a macro, in excel, of me using text-to-columns so I could just copy that onto the end of your code to automatically run it. However, it's still loosing the city and state and I'm just not sure why.


2. Is there anyway to have the macro run through 151 pick up number batches at a time? I found that central's website will search up to 151 pick up numbers at a time. The website keeps all the results on the same page. Just returns an error saying they couldn't trace the shipment at the 152nd pick up number.


You are incredible!! <3

I appreciate you having a go at modifying the code and recording a macro. Don't use text-to-columns though, as that is changing the data layout after the data has been scraped; better to put it in the required layout in the first place.

For the first change, look at the code where it assigns the 3 data parts to the result variable and puts it in 1 cell. Instead, use 3 lines to put the 3 data parts in 3 cells.

If you're still stuck I will look at these two and hopefully post the code updates later.

Thank you for the explanation. :cool:

I have figured it out! I also discovered that occasionally some PU numbers will have a result of "This shipment requires payment..." that threw off the If statement that checks for the "Shipment was spotted" cell. So I added an extra IF statement before the "Shipment was spotted" check in order to account for it. :D

This is very fun and I'm learning so much!

Here is my code if you'd like to double check anything. Or if someone is having a similar issue maybe this can be helpful to them.
