How do I automate copy and paste from a website to Excel?

Can Excel pull live data from a website?

Yes, it can, however that functionality is only available in Excel 2023 or newer.

If you are an Excel 2023 or earlier user, you will need to upgrade. If you are running Excel 2023, you can use the "http" button from the File tab to open Excel Services and create a workbook that you can open in this new tab. Once in the Excel Services tab, you can do almost all of the work you would have been able to do in a web browser.

How to: Use the Excel Web App Button. Use the Excel Web App button when you want to open a web page or spreadsheet in Excel. Step. Open a workbook that has formulas, charts, and other data on it. Click the File tab, and then click the Open button. Click the Browse button, navigate to the location of the file you want to open in Excel. Double-click the file you want to open in Excel, and then click Open. The URL of the file opens in the Web app on a new tab. You can now edit this data directly inside Excel. For more information, see Update a web page in Excel using the Excel Web App Button.

Note. If you have recently added a web page to a list of URLs, make sure that the Excel Web App button is on the File tab. The Excel Web App button only opens the web page when the location of the file is in a list.

Is it possible to link the Excel Web App button to a specific web page? This is not possible. The Excel Web App button opens the web page specified in the file location.

What are the benefits of using the Excel Web App Button? Excel Web App buttons make it easy to create, edit, and share Excel documents. Using Excel Web App buttons also makes it easier for you to work with data from other systems, such as from a web server, since you no longer need to navigate to the web server or open the web page in a web browser. Also, it's much easier to update a spreadsheet on a web page if the updates are coming from a script.

What limitations are there for using the Excel Web App button? Only Excel 2023 and newer can open and edit Excel files using the Excel Web App button.

How do I automate copy and paste from a website to Excel?

I need to do a large amount of copying and pasting from a webpage to an Excel spreadsheet.

I have already automated the process by creating an Excel button that runs the script. When the button is pressed, a user can select text from a webpage and copy it to the clipboard. The script then runs through the entire page, looking for a cell that contains text and then copies and pastes the text. The only problem I have with this solution is that it takes some time for the script to complete.

Is there any way to speed up the process or can someone suggest a better method? Solution: Here is the code I used to make this work (I added the "wait" so it doesn't run until after the script has finished processing the page): Public Function ExtractText() As String. Dim strSource As String. Dim strSourceCnt As Integer. StrSource = "";. StrSourceCnt = InStr(1, strSource, ""). MsgBox strSourceCnt. Do While strSourceCnt > 0. If Right(strSource, 3) <> ".com" Then Exit Do strSource = Left(strSource, strSourceCnt - 4). StrSourceCnt = InStr(1, strSource, "http://"). StrSource = Left(strSource, strSourceCnt - 2). StrSourceCnt = InStr(1, strSource, "/"). Loop. If Right(strSource, 4) <> ".com" Then Exit Do strSource = Right(strSource, 5). StrSourceCnt = InStr(1, strSource, ""). StrSource = Left(strSource, strSourceCnt - 4). StrSourceCnt = InStr(1, strSource, ""). If Right(strSource, 4) <> ".

How do I automatically pull data from a website into Excel?

I would like to pull data from a website into an Excel spreadsheet.

To be clear, I'm not asking how to create an Excel file to do this.I have tried searching, but cannot seem to find a similar question, and my search terms may be off.

I'd like to pull the table directly into an Excel spreadsheet automatically without having to click any links or go through any menus. Is this possible? It can be on any website, any language (and I prefer C# or VB.NET if it is).

If anyone knows of any good guides or tutorials, I'd love to see them! Thank you very much! Update: I found this tutorial on creating a web scraper for your own use with VB. I'll definitely be able to build this to work with our own site.

If you have any control over the website, I'd write a small application that gets the html of the table and extracts the information that you want from it and save the results to an Excel file. Then run it from the command line, for example when you are logging in to the system. The executable can be a small program that saves the data to an XML file (such as an xml sheet) or just runs the query and writes the results to the Excel file.

Alternatively, you could just have a VBA Macro save it as a Web Query and put it in a module. Another alternative is to just get the data from the URL that the page is calling. You could also have a small desktop app that loads the data and puts it in an Excel file. The main part of this program is writing the data from the html page to an XML file.
