In Excel, it is possible to link data from external sources such as other files, databases, applications, and websites. Instead of copying and pasting the data into an Excel sheet, a link can be created to the data source so that the data can be kept up-to-date. It is important to do this when the data in the source changes frequently.
Step 1 – Get the data
– Select the cell where the data is to be inserted
– Go to Data > Get & Transform Data
– Click From Web
Step 2 – Enter the URL
– Paste the URL of the website
– Click OK
Step 3 – Access Web content
– Select Anonymous as the mode to access the web
– Click Connect
Step 4 – Select the data
– Select the element of the website to be loaded
– Click Load
Step 5 – Check the result
– The data is loaded onto the sheet
