    Submit options from dropdown menu and get data from website

    Hi Guys,

    I am trying to get data from this site in excel. I need to select options from drop down menu (like bank name, balance sheet and date).

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    If you go to the website & open one of the dropdown boxes. Move your cursor down into the box. Right click and select "This frame" and "this frame source". You can then see all the contents of the list, with leading and trailing data, like this:

    <option value="AA">Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce</option>

    You can then extract that part of the string you want by using:

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    VBA is a dark art. I'm out... Anyone else want to take over?
