    Exclamation Downloading data from web through link

    Hi everyone!

    I am trying to access data from the internet, but it gets quite tricky. Let me explain.

    The website which I want to take data from is the LAUTEC ESOX Map of meteorological wave parameters. The website consists of a large number of points with unique links (i.e., point N58.25E8.75 would have a link esox.lautec. com/map/?location=58.25/8.75). The problem comes in what happens when the user enters this website. It shows with a blue pointer the desired point.

    To access the data I'm interested in, one has to click on the point and from the dropdown select "Download Metocean Data".

    This automatically downloads a .zip file in which we have a .csv file with the data I'm interested in. I'd be interested in adding this data starting in cell A1 to my Excel file in a specific sheet/tab.

    I hope that this is possible to implement in Excel and that someone here is willing to share their knowledge of the topic (even by saying that it's undoable!).

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    PS.
    As a new user I'm not allowed to post links and images, so I hope that this isn't o big of a hassle for you

    Hello.
    And the sample 'csv' or 'zip'?...

    The downloadable content is a .zip folder containing a single .csv file which I know how to later analyse. It looks like this (as a new user I cannot share files yet...) Attachment 824499
