Sounds like a weird question, but all my search efforts only yield me the opposite answer (posting an excel sheet to/on a website).

I was wondering if it is possible to open and, if so, to navigate a website within a single sheet in an excel workbook... Looking for more than just a simple one-time load.

Ultimately I would love to run a javascript function (from a website, using VBA) on the spreadsheet rather than requiring me to open a browser, navigate it there and then transfer the required data back to excel. Being able to run the javascript in excel would also allow me to put together a few javascripts from different websites on one single sheet of the workbook (or at least not have to load the entire website if multiples were not possible).

Specifically, I would like to run the javascript for the google map on this site: Flight Planning, Flight Planning Information, and Download Aviation Charts for Private Pilots at AeroPlanner.com so that I can quickly find the location of interest and print in a predetermined method.

I know this sounds crazy, but thought I would ask before I spent too much time chasing down this rabbit hole.

Thanks!

Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
