Hi,
I am attempting, in vain, to extract data, using VBA & XML, from a multi page table from the Ireland Central Bank website (Central Bank Website).

I have been successful in extracting this using IE. However, I stumbled across code to extract web page tables using XML and can see the benefits in using this method, i.e. it is quicker.

My question is, can I use the XML method to extract data from a multi page table or am I limited to automating IE to complete this.

The XML code I've used is as follows:

Code:
Sub Web_Table_Option_One()
    Dim xml    As Object
    Dim html   As Object
    Dim objTable As Object
    Dim result As String
    Dim lRow As Long
    Dim lngTable As Long
    Dim lngRow As Long
    Dim lngCol As Long
    Dim ActRw As Long
    
    Set xml = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.6.0")
    With xml
        .Open "GET", "[URL]http://registers.centralbank.ie/FundSearchResultsPage.aspx?searchEntity=FundServiceProvider&searchType=Name&searchText=&registers=6%2c29%2c44%2c45[/URL]", False
        .send
    End With
    result = xml.responseText
    Set html = CreateObject("htmlfile")
    html.body.innerHTML = result
    Set objTable = html.getElementsByTagName("table")
    For lngTable = 0 To objTable.Length - 1
        For lngRow = 0 To objTable(lngTable).Rows.Length - 1
            For lngCol = 0 To objTable(lngTable).Rows(lngRow).Cells.Length - 1
                ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(ActRw + lngRow + 1, lngCol + 1) = objTable(lngTable).Rows(lngRow).Cells(lngCol).innerText
            Next lngCol
        Next lngRow
        ActRw = ActRw + objTable(lngTable).Rows.Length + 1
    Next lngTable
End Sub

I'd appreciate any help here.

Thanks,
Alan

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
To elaborate further, the code posted will extract the first page of the table successfully using the XML method but I cannot extract the subsequent pages, 57 in question for this particular page. Thanks, Alan
