Hello- I want to have an excel file where I can put a file number (column labeled Docket in the screenshot attached) in a cell then it will go to this website https://apps.hcr.ny.gov/casestatus/default.aspx and insert the file number to search for results. After, it would extract the data and populate into the respective columns. An image of the columns is attached. Unfortunately, my expertise with excel is ok (nothing fancy) but if there is a step by step process or even some guidance on how to achieve this, I would be able to pick it up right away. Thanks

Hi JLO, welcome to the forum. I've tried to see if the site has an API you can tap into, but don't find any. So probably your easiest path is to use VBA to automate a browser (which you can do from Excel), like so: Automate Chrome / Edge using VBA
If you don't know any VBA or web scraping, this is a steep learning curve though...
