    Auto-Updates from a URL

    Is there a relatively easy way to get Excel to pull a dynamic numerical value from a website upon opening a given file? I would want it to function in essentially the same way that the built-in stock grabber works.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,

    You can do this with a web query.

    Go to Data > Import External Data > New Web Query

    then follow the wizard through.
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1
