Multi Web Queries from a list of URLs

[joffy1979]

Hello,

I am sure this is a simple task but i am quite new to macros and VBs.

I have a list of players from my cricket team and the link to their play cricket web page and their unique player ID.

I know how to set up a web query, however i was hoping there was a quick way to automate the setup. I have around 100 players and i do not wish to spend 2 days setting up web queries for them all. I have recorded the following macro:

---

Sub PlayCricket()
'
' PlayCricket Macro
'

'
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;http://hitchin.play-cricket.com/scoreboard/individualPerformanceResults.asp?seasonID=26&userID=10532067&ruleTypeID=6101" _
, Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
.Name = _
"individualPerformanceResults.asp?seasonID=26&userID=10532067&ruleTypeID=6101"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = True
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.WebSelectionType = xlSpecifiedTables
.WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingNone
.WebTables = "3"
.WebPreFormattedTextToColumns = True
.WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne = True
.WebSingleBlockTextImport = False
.WebDisableDateRecognition = False
.WebDisableRedirections = False
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Range("O1").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("O1:O5"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("O1:O5").Select
End Sub

---

The URL - (URL;Hitchin CC - Play-Cricket - Individual Performances for SeasonuserID=10532067&ruleTypeID=6101) will be the same for each player apart from the 'userID'. Each player will have there own ID.

I have a list of all the full URLs as above (with the unique IDs) and i also have extracted all the user IDs.

What I would like is to be able to run a macro to set up all players in one worksheet (one after the other) then from there i would like to just open the workbook and press update for the new information. Below is the result of the above macro:

Table 2

What i would also like is the macro to fill the players name from Table 1 column A to auto fill in columns o in Table 2. Which i am guessing is a bit more work. A1-N2 are headers from the web site, so each player will have these.

I would really preffer this all to be contanied in one sheet and when it is updated the rows will all be shifted down. So next week when another game is played Paul Smiths next week will go in row 6 and the following players information will be shifted down, and so on.

I hope this is enough information and you help will be very welcome.

Regards

Maybe this is harder than I thought? For some reason my example has put in a title and not the full url. So an example of another URL is http://hitchin.play-cricket.com/scoreboard/individualPerformanceResults.asp?seasonID=26&userID=10532067&ruleTypeID=6101 in the sheet, all are typed like this and not Hitchin CC - Play-Cricket - Individual Performances for Season.

Also, it should be VBA not VBs
