I have a hyperlink located in a speadsheet cell which I can open using a macro. However, can anyone tell me how to automatically import or select and copy data from the newly opened web page and paste it into the excel worksheet?

Hi,Originally Posted by astrikor
I have xl 2003
Try this
goto the
data menu
import external data
web query
enter the web address
once you are on that site there should be yellow arrows on the screen
to select the table click the specified yellow and it will enter on the screen
I am not sure what happens from there but I am sure it updates automatically
here is one explanation found it by searching "web query excel"

Many thanks Dave, your suggestion even works using the record macro facility and can then be run automatically. Just what I was looking for.
Incidentally, I am still using excel 2000 because it is much faster for data manipulation than excel 2003 or 2007. Excel 2000 doesn't have the yellow table markers on the web pages but it still loads the tables.
Thanks again
Astrikor.
