Hi, new here so sorry if this is the wrong place to ask...

I have a spreadsheet that I've made, with selections for every race and a bet calculator. But at the moment, I'm having to update the prices myself, which is labourious and inaccurate.

I know BAB lets you dump a market screenshot to a spreadsheet; is it possible to make it send the price of specific selections to specific cells in an existing sheet and to refresh constantly? Also could do with the number of runners updating itself too. This would need to be a constant thing for all the races on the card; I would make the selections in advance, and BAB would need to use the selection number from my spreadsheet to query the price from the market and return a value to go into the cell next to it.

Any ideas? Would this be a major programming job or is it fairly obvious how to do it to someone with more of a clue about these things? Thanks for any help

ok, so BAB doesn't let you do that. I was sure it used to...

Basically, I just need a simple bot where I enter the marketID and selectionID into a spreadsheet, and it returns the current back and lay prices into another pair of cells, refreshing every second.

Does anyone know how to do this? Could I slip someone a few quid if they write one for me..? I'd really appreciate any help, I've been searching for days for something like this...
