    Pulling data from web into excel from hyperlink in cell

    Hello,

    I have a complex issue here. Basically i work for company "X" and i need to take a URL say in cell A1 and return a specific part of the page in the cell. But there are 30,000 different URLs. The information on the page is always in the same spot. No idea how to start to do this. As an example lets say i have the website "https://www.google.com/#q=toys&safe=off&tbm=shop" (random website i just pulled) and the spot "Your location" is always the data i need it to pull. So Basically i need it to Read A1, connect to the web, grab the 1 word data and return it to A2, then repeat 30,000 times. (Yes i know this will take awhile to run, but it beats the alt of going to each link and copy paste.) Can anyone help?
