My apologies if this has been covered. I have been looking up and down and cannot seem to find what I am looking for. I am trying to scrape data from an internal website that we have. This data can be retrieved by being copy and pasted, but that is a bit excessive. I recall someone mentioning utilizing DOM explorer to achieve this, however I am unsure. I would put my VBA skills at to intermediate, as I understand a little bit. The table on the page is a regional view, district view, and area view. So it would in essence need to drill down to the area view, as all of the other data is just totals. I believe the data is loaded up using queries and stored procedures, however I do not have any access to that data. What information should I be looking for?

Any help is much appreciated.

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
you might try importing data directly Data > From web and see if you can select it from an html page box
