Greetings,
I would like to copy some specific information from a Website to Excel Sheet. I need to copy the Company Name, Address, Phone, Business Details (About Us), Contact Person into Excel Table format.
This is the link for Website : http://office-supplies.exportersindia.com/furniture/
If you goto "View Details" it would take you to below link:
http://www.exportersindia.com/company/566062/Ideal-Worldwide/
I started with manually copying and pasting into Excel Sheet, however, this is a time consuming process and requires lot of patience.
One of my friends gave me a shortcut of doing this. He asked me to copy the entire page into Sheet1 and using a simple formula (ex. =Sheet1!B16) copy the content into another sheet. This seems to be working excellent with me if everytime the Webpage details gets copied to exact Excel Cell. Say for example if I am copying the entire Webpage to Excel Sheet (A1), it will dump almost entire Website everywhere in the Exccel Sheet. If the Supplier details gets pasted to exact cell everytime then this formula works fine with me.
The problem here is, if I copy the web content into Excel Sheet it may not be necessarily get into the Cell I want to recall. Sometimes Company Name goes to A124 and for a different Supplier (when copying the entire page into Excel) may goto A126.

Is there anyway I can copy the entire page into Excel Sheet and then pull the required information to another Sheet?
I would really apprecaite your support.

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Here is some code.
There is a more automated method here - but it needs lookup data in a worksheet
http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=482148

Code:
'========================================================================================
'- EXTRACT REQUIRED DATA FROM A WORKSHEET AND TRANSFER TO A DATA TABLE
'- NEEDS A WORKSHEET CALLED "DATABASE". RUN FROM THE SHEET TO SEARCH.
'- Change the header list in the code ############
'---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'- The inital Paste is to paste a copied web page into the active sheet
'- Here the return value is in the next column to the data header
'- In this example the dataheaders need a colon : at the end to avoid wrong find (duplicate)
'- "Web Address" has no colon.

Greetings Brian,
Thank you so much for your reply first of all.
I am afraid I am not really technical with Excel. Below code needs to be entered in Excel or any other application?
Please advise. Looks like this is what exactly I have been looking for a while and I would definetely like to try it out.
If it works, you would be my Man.

Regards,
Maqsood.
