    Getting data from web services

    Hi folks,

    I've got a worksheet that calls a web service to get back some XML. It works great but each week I have to change the query string for the service being called to look at the new weeks data.

    For example:

    I'm currently using: /mydomain.com/mywebservice.asmx/weeklydata?week=1
    next week I'll need data for: /mydomain.com/mywebservice.asmx/weeklydata?week=2

    Ideally, I'd like the week parameter to be added to the query string, based on the value of a cell. e.g. if A1 = 3, it'll pass week 3 to the web service in the query string.

    Anyone know how this can be achieved?

    Sadly it just tries to call the webservice with " & Sheets(1).range("A1").value as the query string.

    I suspect this isn't possible... the place you enter the URL is a standard windows dialog box so I'm not sure you can get it to look back at the sheet before it pings the service.

    Still, if anyone knows a way...

    If you are talking about a web query, then see this article by Jan Karel Pieterse.
    Everyone who confuses correlation and causation ends up dead.
