Hi, I am trying to extract the date into excel using VBA but getting stuck...any help would be appreciated

This is the relevant extract from the web page

<div>
<div class="daysTips">
<span>
"Start Date"
": "
"2018-08-24"
</span>
<span>...</span>
<span>...</span>
<span>...</span>

This is my non functioning code - probably a very simple change

Dim Doc As HTMLDocument
Set Doc = IE.document
Dim Start As Date
Start = Trim(Doc.getElementsByClassName("daysTips")(0).innerText)
Range("Start_Date").Value = Start ' start date is an already defined name
 

Excel Facts

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
sorry - it didnt like the html post

div class="daysTips"
span
Start Date
:
2018-08-24
/span
/span
/span
