    team selection by web query

    hi guys
    i have an idea that i will be able to select a team in sheet1 cell a1 via a dropdownlist and also c1 giving a home and away team

    all teams have there own unique number which i would be able to list them all

    it would then look at c1 compare it against the list and use that number

    then on sheet two

    it would return the results

    web address is http://www.soccerbase.com/head2.sd?t...42&team2id=154

    arsenals number is 142
    aston villa are 154

    is there any way i could go about this easily?

    im sure it can be done just need pushing the right way

    thanks gents

    Re: team selection by web query

    this is how id realy like it to look
    i really would appreciate any help

    maybe a lookup function to see whats in e1
    then return the number in e5( for example)

    and then a look up to see g1 and return in g5?

    Please see attached workbook.

    It uses 3 querytables on sheets "head to head", "home team" and "away team" and refreshes each from 2 team id parameters on "input sheet".
