My spreadsheet has films and related info, laid out in standard columnar layout - one row per film, data (director, year, etc.) in columns. I would like to populate the "Blurb" column with info from an external web site, e.g. the storyline section on IMDb. Is there any way of running a query, using film title as the search term, to retrieve data from the internet? Doesn't have to be IMDb - any good site holding film details will do (but suspect IMDb has widest coverage).
:confused:
