Thanks so much for the Excel link. I had tried in the past to look at Python but found it somewhat confusing. To realise that it can be done in Excel really helps. And the reference is a good easy to follow one, Many thanks.

Thanks Memphis

Will check out the rest of the series.

Just a quick question - when doing a “data scrape” via this method is it a static or dynamic link? I.e is the data only correct at the moment of scraping or does it dynamically update?

Thanks again to both you and Shaun for the insights and link
