    Excel equivalent to Google Sheets' "importdata" function?

    Hello,

    I want to pull some financial data from a website. Google Sheets has a fantastic function for grabbing data from tables. In my example, I want to pull the balance sheet for a specific company. Here is a link to the Google Sheets' example

    Is there an Excel equivalent? I tried getting external data, but it does not allow for a variable web address, so I would be limited to only one stock...not desirable.

    Is there a macro for doing such table grabbing?

    Thanks for any help!

    Yes, I did cross post. Is that not allowed? I was just looking for some help in any way.

    See Rule 8:

    8. Don't cross-post without a link. Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. You'll find people are disinclined to respond to cross-posts because they may be wasting their time solving a problem that has been solved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post. Expect cross-posts without a link to be closed.
