Hi,

So I want to add a feature into a current spread sheet were the cost of a material is updated automatically based on a figure from a website. an example of this would be the price of Aluminium.

I want a cell in my spreadsheet to automatically update when opened to the the price of aluminium. The website to get the figure from is https://uk.investing.com/commodities/aluminum

Can this be done? I tried using the 'Get External Data From Web' but couldn't get it to pick up the detail I needed.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
Stevie B
