Dynamic display of SQL in Excel?

I have WebTrends web site traffic analysis running nightly on a SQL DB server. Every month, I must hit over 50 report URLs (pages use frames) to manually caputure 3 numbers into an Excel spreadsheet.

Can anyone provide any pointers how I might go about building a spreadsheet that could caputure/display this data automatically?

Thanks.

See if under Data menu...Import External Data...New Web Query

Not sure of the particulars but it would get you started.

Thumbs up Re: Dynamic display of SQL in Excel?

Thanks for your reply. That's exactly what I ended up doing. Found it by accident when I noticed the "little yellow box" that appeared when I cut & pasted data from the webpage into my spreadsheet.

I just saved the qry file and opened it in notepad to config the values.

This will save me HOURS of work.

VERY cool.

Thanks again for your reply!
