Hi All,

Im not very familiar with Excel/VBA so im having some trouble with what im trying to accomplish

Attached is an image of a website and its table format.

Im trying to use the generic code from an excel help and modify it to my needs

VBA Code:
Sub Export_HTML_Table_To_Excel()
    Dim htm As Object
    Dim Tr As Object
    Dim Td As Object
    Dim Tab1 As Object

    'Replace the URL of the webpage that you want to download
    Web_URL = VBA.Trim(Sheets(1).Cells(1, 1))

    'Create HTMLFile Object
    Set HTML_Content = CreateObject("htmlfile")

    'Get the WebPage Content to HTMLFile Object
    With CreateObject("msxml2.xmlhttp")
        .Open "GET", Web_URL, False
        .send
        HTML_Content.Body.Innerhtml = .responseText
    End With

    Column_Num_To_Start = 1
    iRow = 2
    iCol = Column_Num_To_Start
    iTable = 0

    'Loop Through Each Table and Download it to Excel in Proper Format
    For Each Tab1 In HTML_Content.getElementsByTagName("table")
        With HTML_Content.getElementsByTagName("table")(iTable)
            For Each Tr In .Rows
                For Each Td In Tr.Cells
                    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, iCol).Select
                    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, iCol) = Td.innerText
                    iCol = iCol + 1
                Next Td
                iCol = Column_Num_To_Start
                iRow = iRow + 1
            Next Tr
        End With
        iTable = iTable + 1
        iCol = Column_Num_To_Start
        iRow = iRow + 1
    Next Tab1

    MsgBox "Process Completed"
End Sub

What I want is to ONLY get the text from the td Class = "marketPrice" into the excel sheet.

i am familiar with c/cpp and normally i would have thought something like an if function to check if the td = "marketPrice" for each row would have worked, but when i tried to use it it didnt copy any data

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
You may want to explore using Power Query to extract data from a web site.
