Hi, I want a macro to open a webpage, select all of the page, copy and paste the raw data in Excel.
I have this using Chrome but it doesn't work. I don't mind changing to MS Edge if necessary. Thanks
VBA Code:
Sub Test()
Dim ChromeLocation As String
Dim MyURL As String

ChromeLocation = "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

MyURL = "https://google.com"

    Shell (ChromeLocation & " -url -newtab " & MyURL)
        Cells.Select  ''''fail from here
    Selection.Copy
Cells("E1").PasteSpecial Format:="HTML", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False, NoHTMLFormatting:=True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
When you shell to chrome and load the webpage, excel loses focus so there is nothing in excel to copy.

To load web data into a spreadsheet use Data / From Web. You can hit Record Macro before you do this to record the macro, then make changes as necessary.
