Hi I'm doing some extremely repetitive work with a web tool at work. I need to import about 1800 tables for my first assignment and 5000 for my second.
I did a search on the forum and found out that Excel and vba is able to import tables from a website's chart which is amazing
I recorded a macro but it is unable to get all the charts that I need and here is the situation

The site that I'm using is confidential so I cannot show it but I have found a very similar website, the only major difference is that this site does not require a password but I do not think that this is an issue
http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/index.jsp
and from that site you can select charts near the top left
This is the billboard music charts
Say for example I want excel to import the number one song of every chart

so if you look at the above image, that would be the drop down where you can select the different types of charts. So is there a way for vba to get me the number 1 single for each of these charts in the pic below

Thank you very much for the help everyone!:)
