Web Query

[Joneye]

I have a excel sheet that draws in google shares information, this is pulled in every 6 minutes.

The cell changes as per the price of the share, is there any possible way to have the previous cells data extracted to another cell before the new data arrives?

Is this a VBA function or is their a formula?

Maybe you can use the method employed in LastChng.xls here:

Hi Jon
I believe this is a VBA solution.
IS it your macro that pulls data from the Web ??
If so, before it does the pull place the lines ( change to suit), in the macro

Range("A1").Copy Destination:=Range("A2")

I use the Web Query Feature under the data tab to draw in the information.

It comes into a tab and in a master sheet I draw in the cell im interested in.

Does this help?

Are you using code...if so, maybe you should post it.
Did you look at Andrews link

No code, its a feature in excel 2003, click on the data tab, scrol down to import external data then select New Web Query

No code unless its hidden from me.

Yeah, I know how Web query works. I thought you may have created a macro to run it and then we could simply add the copy / paste

I use this snippet to run my Web quesry and it would be simple to add the line to copy and paste at the beginning.

Sub NRL()
Range("D2:M19").Clear 'you could add your copy and paste here
Range("D2").Select
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    With Selection.QueryTable
        .Connection = "URL;http://www.thescore.com.au/nrl/ladder.html"
        .WebSelectionType = xlSpecifiedTables
        .WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingAll
        .WebTables = "1"
        .WebDisableRedirections = True
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With
    Columns("E:L").ColumnWidth = 4.71
Range("I2:M2").ClearContents
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub

hope this gives you some ideas.
