The last bit of combining is the difficult bit

The VBA code doesnt lend itself to combining without VBA

You have it all wrong. BA collates ALL the info into 1 worksheet just like the SL ABC only the BA sheet has live ish Exchange odds and not bookie odds. This is the dashboard.
Both files multiple and Betangel 1 do not store prices on one sheet

I collect data but just do it one race at a time as Bet Angel switches between race. I then use a command line to join them all up in a csv file. Must be a simpler solution?

I use an Excel workbook that connects multiple markets to BA. The VBA code writes to a log (text) file, all markets to the same file and appends it to the same file for the whole day.

If using VBA, could you not write a CSV file containing all the necessary data? As long as each line identifies the market and the data is in the same order you can later import it into Excel, sort and reformat it.

Correct.

I'd suggest using the multiple version and have a seperate sheet that references each of them. But admittedly that's not straightforward unless you know a few choice vba commands.

Do you mind me asking why you need the comparison, the Betfair price will always be better?

He needs live comparisons (I think). Not a capture and export.

It's absolutely possible with just BA. You reminded me of a spreadsheet I did a few years ago, BF prices from BA, trainers with just 1 runner etc. I've just tried to get it working again for you but I stopped using it so long ago I seem to have lost the code that sits behind it. Pity. It still had the last sessions data in it thankfully to show you, June 2018!

It could have had bookie prices inserted as extra rows or any other info BA can export such as recent form. I forget exactly what this sheet did now but I think it also highlighted changes since the last refresh so that moves up or down were shown in red or blue. Basically if you can get anything into Excel anywhere, you can do what you want with it.

.....it seems to have a different format summary sheet too, it's something I never really finished but I hope it shows it's doable.

...I wonder what happened to Hit and Run in the 14:10....D McCain, 1 runner, watch out :D

Not if you want the odds a few hours before the racing starts, or want to track the odds from early morning to identify runners whose odds are out of kilter with what they historically are.

It looks a gap in BA which hopefully will get sorted

Why the LTP? Wouldn't the currently available back and/or lay price be better? LTP will flash from one side of the spread to the other.
