Web query - IE Compatibility problem

[swaink]

Hi All

I've not come across this error before but I wonder if anyone has experienced the same problem and found a work around

I have attempted to create a web query in excel 2013

When I paste the URL into the query I get several script issues but select to stop the script but I end up with a screen which states

"You are here because we don't support your browser"

I have tried setting various browsers on my machine as the default browser but nothing has worked for me

The browsers I have installed are IE 11, Chrome and Firefox and the web page I am trying to link to is https://uk.trustpilot.com/

On IE 11 I am able to choose the compatibility mode and it works but I am not able to see a way of evoking compatibility mode via the web query


Thank you

Kevin

You're out of luck. The Excel Web Query gives a user string of IE7 to browsers, this cannot be changed, it does not matter what browsers you actually have installed.
