Hi Everyone There is a specific requirement I came across while developing a tool in excel. I am using 40 different links of the same website to extract data in a single sheet of excel through feature "External Data from Web". Now the problem is the link changes when month changes.
For example for October month, first link will be http://www.nseindia.com/marketinfo/fo/foquote_printer.jsp?key=OPTIDXNIFTY29OCT2009CE3800.0009OCT2009&symbol=NIFTY&flag=1 For October month, second link will be http://www.nseindia.com/marketinfo/fo/foquote_printer.jsp?key=OPTIDXNIFTY29OCT2009CE3900.0009OCT2009&symbol=NIFTY&flag=1 Number of links are 40 which increases with CE value Link will change when month changes to November, example of first link is http://www.nseindia.com/marketinfo/fo/foquote_printer.jsp?key=OPTIDXNIFTY26NOV2009CE3800.0009OCT2009&symbol=NIFTY&flag=1 It’s pretty simple to define a logic in excel which creates a link automatically when month changes, so did I. I hope you got this. In the present situation I am using October month links to get external data from web. I fear that when month changes to November, the current links will not work and I have to replace all the 40 links with November month series in the sheet. Is there any method through macros which will automatically replace the October month links with November month links so that I continue to receive data without iterative process of cut and paste? If you are not clear of the question, please ask me to upload an example sheet of the same. Thanks in advance. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
