    Hi sankeepan,

    I tried to do this problem a few years ago and failed. You can't just put a different URL in your search and have that dropdown work as it is a Java Script that is extracting the stocks, not the URL. Thinking about it again I watched a Power Automate video that might help at: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...EA75&FORM=VIRE

    The question is if Power Automate can select that dropdown and change it. I don't know..

    The next chance is to view the HTML code using Edge and the "Inspect" window to see if you can change the script from the dropdown there.
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mi...um/css/inspect

    The last place I'd be looking is in a VBA code that might be described at:

    I hope one of the smart gurus can come up with an easier answer.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Hi,

    Another possibility would be to use Excel Data Types and have a list of symbols build in an Excel file already. See:
