• I'd like to automate Outlook 2016 on Mac. The task I'd like to automate is basically the following: search inbox for mails from the previous week having a specific pattern in the title; prepare a new mail which content is the consolidated content of all the mails found in the previous step.
• VBA works by running macros, step-by-step procedures written in Excel Visual Basic. To scrape data from websites to Excel using VBA, we need to build or get some VBA script to send some requests to web pages and get returned data from these web pages. It’s common to use VBA with XMLHTTP and regular expressions to parse the web pages.

Preserves VBA macro code and Excel 4.0 macro sheets. VBA macros do not run in Excel 2008. Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (.xlsm) The XML-based workbook format for Microsoft Excel 2008 for Mac, Microsoft Excel for Mac 2011, and Excel 2007 and Excel 2010 for Windows that preserves VBA macro code and Excel 4.0 macro sheets. Thanks for your video above. I’m contemplating moving from PC to Mac, and trying (without much success) to understand how complete the VBA implementation is in Mac Office 2016. I recently tested an xlsm file I wrote in PC Excel 2007 on a friend’s Mac Office 2016, and it choked on trying to create a Word file from within Excel.

You probably know how to use basic functions in Excel. It’s easy to do things like sorting, applying filters, making charts, and outlining data with Excel. You even can perform advanced data analysis using pivot and regression models. It becomes an easy job when the live data turns into a structured format. The problem is, how can we extract scalable data and put it into Excel? This can be tedious if you doing it manually by typing, searching, copying and pasting repetitively. Instead, you can achieve automated data scraping from websites to excel.

In this article, I will introduce several ways to save your time and energy to scrape web data into Excel.

Disclaimer:

There many other ways to scrape from websites using programming languages like PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby and etc. Here we just talk about how to scrape data from websites into excel for non-coders.

Getting web data using Excel Web Queries

Except for transforming data from a web page manually by copying and pasting, Excel Web Queries is used to quickly retrieve data from a standard web page into an Excel worksheet. It can automatically detect tables embedded in the web page's HTML. Excel Web queries can also be used in situations where a standard ODBC(Open Database Connectivity) connection gets hard to create or maintain. You can directly scrape a table from any website using Excel Web Queries.

The process boils down to several simple steps (Check out this article):

1. Go to Data > Get External Data > From Web

2. A browser window named “New Web Query” will appear

3. In the address bar, write the web address

(picture from excel-university.com)

4. The page will load and will show yellow icons against data/tables.

5. Select the appropriate one

6. Press the Import button.

Now you have the web data scraped into the Excel Worksheet - perfectly arranged in rows and columns as you like.

Getting web data using Excel VBA

Most of us would use formula's in Excel(e.g. =avg(...), =sum(...), =if(...), etc.) a lot, but less familiar with the built-in language - Visual Basic for Application a.k.a VBA. It’s commonly known as “Macros” and such Excel files are saved as a **.xlsm. Before using it, you need to first enable the Developer tab in the ribbon (right click File -> Customize Ribbon -> check Developer tab). Then set up your layout. In this developer interface, you can write VBA code attached to various events.

Using Excel VBA is going to be a bit technical - this is not very friendly for non-programmers among us. VBA works by running macros, step-by-step procedures written in Excel Visual Basic. To scrape data from websites to Excel using VBA, we need to build or get some VBA script to send some requests to web pages and get returned data from these web pages. It’s common to use VBA with XMLHTTP and regular expressions to parse the web pages. For Windows, you can use VBA with WinHTTP or InternetExplorer to scrape data from websites to Excel.

With some patience and some practice, you would find it worthwhile to learn some Excel VBA code and some HTML knowledge to make your web scraping into Excel much easier and more efficient for automating the repetitive work. There’s a plentiful amount of material and forums for you to learn how to write VBA code.

Automated Web Scraping Tools

For someone who is looking for a quick tool to scrape data off pages to Excel and doesn’t want to set up the VBA code yourself, I strongly recommend automated web scraping tools like Octoparse to scrape data for your Excel Worksheet directly or via API. There is no need to learn to program. You can pick one of those web scraping freeware from the list, and get started with extracting data from websites immediately and exporting the scraped data into Excel. Different web scraping tool has its pros and cons and you can choose the perfect one to fit your needs. The below video shows how to leverage an automated web scraping tool to extract web data to excel efficiently.

If time is your most valuable asset and you want to focus on your core businesses, outsourcing such complicated web scraping work to a proficient web scraping team that has experience and expertise would be the best option. It’s difficult to scrape data from websites due to the fact that the presence of anti-scraping bots will restrain the practice of web scraping. A proficient web scraping team would help you get data from websites in a proper way and deliver structured data to you in an Excel sheet, or in any format you need.

This free spreadsheet is a solution for share traders who relied on the Yahoo Finance historical price extract feature that was suddenly discontinued. You can use this new method in Excel to extract the historical price for any security from the Yahoo Finance website.

Yahoo Finance has always been a great source of information for share traders. Some recent changes in the format of the Yahoo website have resulted in errors for many of the extract and data scraping methods that many Excel users have relied upon. This post will describe a new method that can be used within Excel to extract the historical price for any security from the Yahoo Finance website. In a future post this will be extended to extract dividend information for any security.

A quick search of the Yahoo forum reports the advice from 'Official 'Hoo Staff' that the Finance API has been discontinued by the Finance team and that they do not intend to reintroduce that functionality.

The revised finance website from Yahoo offers the same information but with many more options. The ability to download historical prices has significantly changed but with some new routines you can easily replace your existing historical price extract routines in your own Excel workbook. Here are the steps that we took to create this revised method.

The URL https://au.finance.yahoo.com/quote/BHP.AX/history?p=BHP.AX provides the historical list of prices to your browser. The default is to display daily prices for the the previous year.

If you hover over the 'Download Data' link you see the following URL
https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/BHP.AX?period1=1493123204&period2=1495715204&interval=1d&events=history&crumb=WxrLhK9KSAq

(note: the URL above worked when the post was first created, but due to the validity periods for the crumb parameter it may no longer work)

Track your share portfolio performance in one place with ShareTrade Tracker. This custom built Excel spreadsheet for traders includes a Historical Price Extract function, and automated retrieval of share prices and dividends, including franking credits & franked % for Australian shares. The addition of a filtered dashboard, charts and reports give traders the tools they need to monitor their trading performance.

The download URL is the made up of the following components that we have replicated below to automate the retrieval of the historical price data into an Excel workbook.

https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/BHP.AX?
The new starting query URL string and includes the security code. Only one security at a time for this request.

period1=1493123204&period2=1495715204
The start and end date for the data download. These are in a unix date format that is calculated from 1st January, 1970. In this case the date range was 25 May 2016 - 25 May 2017.

interval=1d&events=history
The interval for the extract is daily with '1d' and the historical price is returned via the events parameter.

&crumb=WxrLhK9KSAq
Finally the crumb which was the most complicated part of the download URL to replicate. We found in our testing that this could sometimes be re-used and other times needed to be regenerated. It was paired with a cookie that was not contained in the URL request that also needed to be supplied for the download to succeed.

We developed an Excel workbook that used a 'cookie & crumb' approach to mimic a Yahoo website request. This worked for some months and further changes to the website rendered that method invalid and the prices were no longer returned. We have now developed an alternate method that used 'scraping' to extract the prices we are interested in. This method relies on a basic WinHTTP call and is likely to remain working into the future. Even if Yahoo make changes to the structure of their price history page the 'scraping' code can be updated to reflect any new tags that are required.

We have listed the key code component below that is the basis of this new method.

You can download for FREE the updated Yahoo Historical Price workbook at the bottom of this page and run the price extract for yourself. With this updated version to get access to the VBA code that is used to 'scrape' the prices from the Yahoo website we are charging a one-off cost. For details on accessing the VBA code click here.

Updates have been made to restore the capability of this spreadsheet to extract prices from Yahoo. It now uses a 'scraping' technique to return the prices for a group of security codes.

• Scraping price data from Yahoo website has restored the price extract
• Extract Method for users that can still use the 'Cookie & Crumb' approach it is available for selection at the top of the worksheet.

See below an image to demo the sample workbook that is provided. Enter the security code and required date into the highlighted cells then click 'Extract Historical Data'. The historical price will then be returned for each security. The date returned will be the closest possible prior to the supplied date.

Note: This workbook has been tested on Windows running Office 2013. No testing on MAC has been performed. It may work for a MAC environment but will require Windows virtualisation.

1. Include Splits and Adjust Prices Overtime

Update the extract options to include an option that takes into account 'splits' reported by Yahoo and then an adjusted the share price to account for the split overtime. This would include additional columns to the extract to list when a split occurs for a security and then an 'adjusted share price' column to reflect how the share price has been affected for a single share over the time of the extract period.

2. Option for Output Directory and File Format

Provide an option to specify or select a directory that will be destination for the output files. As part of that include an option to specify a File Format for the output files.
