    I found the following "hack" where you simply adjust the following URL

    with the searchterm and get a long json-like text answer. Unfortunately, it is not json-compatible, so I am using the =Webservice() formula to get the result in xls, which looks like the following (shortened):

    Now I want to write a macro to get a csv file that can be used as input for a DB that has two columns: data, value.

    I would appreciate any advice

    Cheers
    Martin

    Perhaps this recent thread may help.

    Transfer text file data to spreadsheet via vba
    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.
