You are an amazing teacher. I wanted to get currency rates onto my excel sheet, and you are sent to me by God. You have explained it in exquisite detail. Even a child can follow.
Watched many vba videos from other tutors but not so informative, constructive and logical as yours. There is saying in English... knowledge itself is of no value, it's the use of it that makes it valuable, you are simply genius!! kudos !!!
IT took almost a week to finish this whole video step by step. Thanks a lot. You clarified everything in a very clear way. Thanks a lot. Thanks for your clear accent and your bright coding sense.
Even though I know a lot about VBA on Excel itself, I never tried Web Scraping before. I started reading some documentation on the Internet about it and tried to automate some few things at my job, but I couldn't quite get the results I wanted, mostly because my lack of knowledge on HTML code and VBA procedures for this. After 30 minutes of this video I accomplished everything I needed without many problems. I finished the video and I'm a fan of yours already. Thank you and I will be watching your other tutorials that I'm sure they're worth it.
That's great Carlos! So happy to hear that the video helped you to achieve your aim. Many thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment!
@@WiseOwlTutorials Thank you for your kind answer! I have a question... Is this site possible to Automate? srienlinea.sri.gob.ec/sri-en-linea/#/SriRucWeb/ConsultaRuc/Consultas/consultaRuc Because I would like to type a lot of "RUC" Numbers and first of all, is not compatible with Internet Explorer and secondly, I don't see any queries going on, it just loads like the interior part of the window with information. Do you have any video with a webpage alike or somewhere I could read about it? Thank you again!
I have never encountered any VBA tutorial video of this amazing quality! I was able to follow easily and do what I wanted. Thank you so much for creating this video and I will be learning from you more from now on.
This is a brilliant video tutorial ! Concise, explanatory and well presented....well done ! I wish I had found this video 2 years ago when I started self-learning how to scrape websites. I have struggled in all that time...now, I hope to take some of these tips to good use.
@@WiseOwlTutorials if you are not confident, then what does that make me ha ha ! I have used my existing basic skills to create a website auto-login tool. You see, at my work place there are thousands of people who have unique Usernames & Passwords for over 10 different sites they have to log into. This is very very time consuming, not forgetting where they store their personal data. So I developed a tool that automates this process using similar coding. Currently, the estimated savings run into multi-millions, using such a simple approach. I am struggling with some coding problems though, I don't suppose you provide 1-2-1 advice by any chance?
I have been long time dealing with scraping websites. I have learned on my own but this video is awesome because it put all the ideas I had together and perfectly consistent. Thank you a lot for this video, it is extreme helpful.
Thank you Dimitris! I had not heard of an organised thinking contest but I just Googled them and I am now going to waste hours trying to complete the questions!
Easily the best VBA course on RUclips. Thanks for this. I noticed that the intelliSence for HTMLInput (24:28) doesn't suggest value as a property. When I tried without .Value it gives a runtime error. It's the sort of annoying 'feature' that can waste hours trying to debug !
Thanks! And agreed on the point about IntelliSense. It's caused by declaring the variables using the generic IHTMLElement interface. If we know the type of HTML element the variable will reference we can use the specific class to get more help from the IntelliSense. So, rather than using these variables: Dim IE As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer Dim HTMLDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument Dim HTMLInput As MSHTML.IHTMLElement Dim HTMLButtons As MSHTML.IHTMLElementCollection Dim HTMLButton As MSHTML.IHTMLElement We can use these: Dim IE As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer Dim HTMLDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument Dim HTMLInput As MSHTML.HTMLInputElement Dim HTMLButtons As MSHTML.IHTMLElementCollection Dim HTMLButton As MSHTML.HTMLButtonElement We'll then get more help from the IntelliSense when referencing the Input and the Button objects. Of course, the IHTMLElement interface is still useful as you can't always predict what type of HTML element you're going to encounter, particularly when looping over the children of a parent element. Hope that helps!
Wow - this is great material. I've already learned so much and I'm only 1/2 way finished. I am working my own script while I watch. Thank you for putting this together and providing great explanations of the why behind what you are doing.
It would be easy to get high grades in college if all professors are like Andrew Gould. He even created Flappy Owl in Excel-a Flappy Bird-inspired game. Although Excel-based games are not entirely a new concept but being able to do that is very impressive..
@@WiseOwlTutorials This is the video that got me into VBA programming and made me understand how this works when I watched this around 2016 or 2017. Prior to this, I really wanted to learn how to do this but I don't know where to start until I found this. So, thank you for doing these videos. I really love your content-Fast-paced, concise, and lots of real world examples; and because you put an extremely high standard in terms of video tutorials, the DOWNSIDE is I can't even watch other tutorials now, other than WiseOwl tutorials, without moving the slider way farther, almost near the end because I want to finish it immediately but with your tutorials my face is fixated near my screen from start to finish because I don't want to miss anything..
@@WiseOwlTutorials I'd like to support you guys in any way I can. So, I'd like to purchase one "Intro to Excel VBA" book. Do you happen to have an e-Book version of it? I know you have a paper back version of it but logistics would be a pain for me because I don't live in the UK, I live in the Philippines..
@@WiseOwlTutorials I hope in the future, you can make C language tutorial using Visual Studio. It's not Microsoft, so if it's not possible, VB.Net using VS would be great, too. I downloaded VS Community but I'm lost, I don't know where to start. I know you have C# with VS, but that's in my bucket list for now..

First of all thank you very much!!! for the in depth knowledge on this section which made our life so easy with doing tedious tasks while working. Secondly we gained helpful knowledge on getting bots deployed at work for us :-) You're awesome Sir!!!!
Your way of loading website can sometimes stuck, I recommend to use for it: "Do While IE1.Busy Application.Wait DateAdd("s", 1, Now) Loop" Also you should add in the end IE.Quit.
I came here as newbie looking for how to pull specific data from the internet. This tutorial assumes you already possess a lot of knowledge I certainly do not possess.
Hi. Thank you for your introduction to web scrapping. It was extremely helpful in my own project where I have downloaded historical prices and dividends from two different pages and combined them to single query. The only problem I didn't managed to resolve is to how append master table with new pieces of information from additional queries. As excel allow me only to append to queries and save result as a new one I was ought to save new master and delete the old one after checking for accuracy of new information. By the way I can share my results somehow to you if you are interested.

Hi Andrew, Thank you so much for this knowledgeable video tutorial about scraping a web page through Excel VBA, could you please post a tutorial about, how can we manipulate, extract or put information in “Frames” in a web page, and how can we click on JavaScript button, that is calling a JavaScript function. Kindly request to you, please post a video tutorial about above queries that would be really helpful. Thanks, once again for this lovely tutorial
You're very welcome, happy to help! Just in case it helps more, we added a few videos on using Google Chrome for web scraping in VBA - you can see them from Part 57.1 in this playlist ruclips.net/p/PLNIs-AWhQzcl3xKvF8sVL4sWRWICj_clM
Hi Andrew, I love your tutorials. So clear and well prepared. However I am struggling with a task I have been asked to perform. The web page I need to scrape is from the South Australian Country Fire Services. I have to retrieve the fire ban and fire danger rating from provided locations. When I inspect the elements, they are all set as tags with no names: High I need to extract the "High" value of this div. This div is nested in 4 other divs: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Hight -- this is the one I need to extract I did not see any references to the div tags and how to manipulate them. Any chance you can help me? Thank you
Hi Marc! You have something even better than a name, you have the unique ID of each element. Here's a bit of sample code which will get the fire data rating for Adelaide Metropolitan: Private ch As Selenium.ChromeDriver Sub GetFireData() Dim FbcLevelInfo As Selenium.WebElement Set ch = New Selenium.ChromeDriver
Set FbcLevelInfo = ch.FindElementById("fbc_level_info")
Debug.Print FbcLevelInfo.Text
End Sub I think you'll find this sort of thing much easier using Selenium for VBA which allows you to work with Google Chrome and other browsers. I added a bunch of videos on how to work with Selenium recently, starting with this one: ruclips.net/video/FoxWcvZzYVk/видео.html And you can find the other videos towards the end of this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLNIs-AWhQzcl3xKvF8sVL4sWRWICj_clM Hope it helps!
Thanks.. Great video... was very helpful, will still take me some time to master this concept of Internet Objects, and HTML Classes, two things I'm not familiar with.
Dear Andrew, first of all, thank you very much for the great video. I have got on question: If I click on tag and browse to the next site, how do I activate the new page to be able to click on -tags on the new page? Thank you in advance.
One thing that would've been helpful is if this tutorial mentioned HTML frames somewhere; for a website I was trying to work with I was almost tearing my hair out since nothing worked, until I managed to stumble upon an explanation that HTML frames are basically their own document type, so on top of || set HTMLdoc = IE.Document ||, I then needed || set HTMLdoc2 = HTMLdoc.Frames(0).Document || to access the first frame on the web page. Doing that and referencing HTMLdoc2 to get the frame specifically made everything work basically instantly.
Amazing video! I appreciate your patience and time. Just what I needed! Thank you so much ! I followed all the steps. I get the result on the worksheets when I run module 4 but not getting it when I use the userform to input the data.
Thank you for the great video. I have a question about an access problem when using XML. Every time I run the code with the Microsoft XML library, I get an access denied error which looks like: execution error '-2147024891 (80070005)'. How can I solve this problem? Thanks again.
Hi, I have just started with VBA Scraping. The tutorials you produce are amazingly informative and easy to follow, and at a pace that is easy to keep up with. I have tried some of my own coding and i am getting mixed results, some work Some DONT I have a problem with one particular VBA Script that i am working on and wondered if you could take a look to see how I have messed it up.... as it Stumps Me. Regards Paul
Thank you so much for this. Solved my problem! Just one question. Referring to the time stamp 32:05 of this video. Why do we set HTMLDoc=IE.Document? What do we gain from this? Thanking you for all help thus far! P.S. You have a voice that can make anything sound interesting!
Hi Sreeraj, we do have a video which explains how to install the Date Time Picker control ruclips.net/video/JtRQC5qnrHQ/видео.html (although it may be difficult to find a copy of the file these days). Using the control for web-scraping is really no different to using it for any other purpose. You can access the date picked by using the Value property of the control: Dim DatePicked As Date DatePicked = DTPicker1.Value You can then use that value for whatever you need!
I am learning a lot from your videos Wise Owl Thank You!!!!You indicate in your video that you can use XML rather than IE if you can arrive at a web page using query strings. Is t also possible to use XML if you must enter PW and USERNAME prior to arriving at the desired page/s?
First of all, best explanation I found on the web so far. But although I tested with the same code as you it is not werking. At 16:51 I get the following error: Run-time error ‘438’: Object doesn’t support this property of methode. And at 24:42 I get Run-time error ‘91’: Object variable or With Black variable not set. Do I need to add any additional reference or is this relaxed to something else? Thanks in advance!!
Hi there, often the problem with things like this is that the design of the website has changed since the video was made, but that doesn't appear to be the issue here. I've downloaded the completed example (you'll find the link for this in the video description) and tested the two examples that you've mentioned and they still work correctly. I'd recommend downloading the completed example and comparing it to the code you've written to see if there are any differences. I hope that helps!
WiseOwlTutorials Hi, thank you VERY much to reply! I restarted from 0 to avoid making any typos etc. It already bugs at the wait loop (code is 100% the sale as yours at 10:21): IE.readyState =
You're right, Marko! It's more difficult, but it's certainly possible. This video shows one way to do it ruclips.net/video/sGw6r5GVA5g/видео.html&lc=UgwdeYZy2Nqsf7Cc66F4AaABAg Sadly, the website I used for the demonstration has changed since the video was recorded and so the code shown in the video doesn't work any longer, but you can download a working version of the file from the link in the description and the video will still give you some useful ideas I think!
Just what I needed. You, sir, give the best videos on VBA and are awesome.

You're very welcome, happy to help! Just in case it helps more, we added a few videos on using Google Chrome for web scraping in VBA - you can see them from Part 57.1 in this playlist ruclips.net/p/PLNIs-AWhQzcl3xKvF8sVL4sWRWICj_clM
Thank you so much for the tutorial ( Love from INDIA)
Hi Andrew,
I love your tutorials. So clear and well prepared.
However I am struggling with a task I have been asked to perform.
The web page I need to scrape is from the South Australian Country Fire Services.
I have to retrieve the fire ban and fire danger rating from provided locations.
When I inspect the elements, they are all set as tags with no names:
High
I need to extract the "High" value of this div.
This div is nested in 4 other divs:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5. Hight -- this is the one I need to extract
I did not see any references to the div tags and how to manipulate them. Any chance you can help me?
Thank you
Hi Marc! You have something even better than a name, you have the unique ID of each element. Here's a bit of sample code which will get the fire data rating for Adelaide Metropolitan:
Private ch As Selenium.ChromeDriver
Sub GetFireData()
Dim FbcLevelInfo As Selenium.WebElement
Set ch = New Selenium.ChromeDriver
ch.Start
ch.Get _
"www.cfs.sa.gov.au/custom/control/fireBan/public.jsp?f_display=day1&f_districtId=1&TB_=true&height=500&width=870"
Set FbcLevelInfo = ch.FindElementById("fbc_level_info")
Debug.Print FbcLevelInfo.Text
End Sub
I think you'll find this sort of thing much easier using Selenium for VBA which allows you to work with Google Chrome and other browsers. I added a bunch of videos on how to work with Selenium recently, starting with this one:
ruclips.net/video/FoxWcvZzYVk/видео.html
And you can find the other videos towards the end of this playlist:

Hope it helps!
Thanks.. Great video... was very helpful, will still take me some time to master this concept of Internet Objects, and HTML Classes, two things I'm not familiar with.
Very much informative... Liked your approach... Thanks mate
Andrew Gould, VBA king. Love your tutorial! Thank you! Would you do a tutorial on API, RESTful API, PowerQuery in the future?
Dear Andrew, first of all, thank you very much for the great video. I have got on question: If I click on tag and browse to the next site, how do I activate the new page to be able to click on -tags on the new page? Thank you in advance.
Simply outstanding!
One thing that would've been helpful is if this tutorial mentioned HTML frames somewhere; for a website I was trying to work with I was almost tearing my hair out since nothing worked, until I managed to stumble upon an explanation that HTML frames are basically their own document type, so on top of || set HTMLdoc = IE.Document ||, I then needed || set HTMLdoc2 = HTMLdoc.Frames(0).Document || to access the first frame on the web page. Doing that and referencing HTMLdoc2 to get the frame specifically made everything work basically instantly.
Great job.
Thanks, Leandro!
Amazing video! I appreciate your patience and time. Just what I needed! Thank you so much !
I followed all the steps. I get the result on the worksheets when I run module 4 but not getting it when I use the userform to input the data.
Watched the entire video..Seriously ..it's too good... only one help needed to let me know the user input method as mentioned in comments below..Pls.
Mad respect for this bro!
Thank you for the great video. I have a question about an access problem when using XML. Every time I run the code with the Microsoft XML library, I get an access denied error which looks like: execution error '-2147024891 (80070005)'. How can I solve this problem? Thanks again.
Amazing!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, it helped me a lot
You're welcome, Ravi! Thanks for watching!
Hi, I have just started with VBA Scraping. The tutorials you produce are amazingly informative and easy to follow, and at a pace that is easy to keep up with.
I have tried some of my own coding and i am getting mixed results, some work Some DONT
I have a problem with one particular VBA Script that i am working on and wondered if you could take a look to see how I have messed it up.... as it Stumps Me.
Regards
Paul
Hi Paul! You're welcome to post code here and I can try to offer suggestions. Happy to hear that the videos have helped so far!
Very usefull.....,,🍄👌👌👌👌
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this. Solved my problem!
Just one question. Referring to the time stamp 32:05 of this video. Why do we set HTMLDoc=IE.Document? What do we gain from this?
Thanking you for all help thus far!
P.S. You have a voice that can make anything sound interesting!
Magnificent....Great info...very useful..thanks a ton
dude you are awesome
Excellent tutorials sir , could you please make a tutorial on how to work with date picker while web scraping. This would be really helpful.
Hi Sreeraj, we do have a video which explains how to install the Date Time Picker control ruclips.net/video/JtRQC5qnrHQ/видео.html (although it may be difficult to find a copy of the file these days). Using the control for web-scraping is really no different to using it for any other purpose. You can access the date picked by using the Value property of the control:
Dim DatePicked As Date
DatePicked = DTPicker1.Value
You can then use that value for whatever you need!
This is a fantastic video!! i have learned a great deal here. Thank you.
Thank you. That very helpful.
You're very welcome, thank you for watching!
Nice video sir.. kindly show how to fill captcha code for login
@@WiseOwlTutorials nice video sir kindly share how to fill captcha code for login
Thanks for sharing this. It’s really helpful. Do you know if there’s a way to download a Tableau workbook using this?
If you're having trouble with the first loop, try InternetExplorerMedium instead of InternetExplorer. EX: Dim IE as New SHDocVw.InternetExplorerMedium
Great Video. Learnt lot of new things. Thanks
You are a genius men
Amazing !
VBA is such a (with due to respect) a fucking language .
But you made it very easy to work with .
Thanks a lot .
I am learning a lot from your videos Wise Owl Thank You!!!!You indicate in your video that you can use XML rather than IE if you can arrive at a web page using query strings. Is t also possible to use XML if you must enter PW and USERNAME prior to arriving at the desired page/s?
One of the Best video....
what a great tutorial！
Great video! Thank you!
Just a small question: how can I place 2 tables side by side ?
This is the best.
Thanks Michelle, glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Andrew. How can I use Microsoft Edge instead of Internet Explorer ?
First of all, best explanation I found on the web so far. But although I tested with the same code as you it is not werking.
At 16:51 I get the following error: Run-time error ‘438’: Object doesn’t support this property of methode. And at 24:42 I get Run-time error ‘91’: Object variable or With Black variable not set.
Do I need to add any additional reference or is this relaxed to something else?
Thanks in advance!!
Hi there, often the problem with things like this is that the design of the website has changed since the video was made, but that doesn't appear to be the issue here. I've downloaded the completed example (you'll find the link for this in the video description) and tested the two examples that you've mentioned and they still work correctly. I'd recommend downloading the completed example and comparing it to the code you've written to see if there are any differences.
I hope that helps!
WiseOwlTutorials Hi, thank you VERY much to reply!
I restarted from 0 to avoid making any typos etc.
It already bugs at the wait loop (code is 100% the sale as yours at 10:21):
IE.readyState =
Wow.. Awesome Video, Sir !
What a fantastic video. Very clear, very educational, very well done. Thank you.
Good, really good.. but one big problem... scraping over static result addresses is easy... but dynamical addresses hole new level...
You're right, Marko! It's more difficult, but it's certainly possible. This video shows one way to do it ruclips.net/video/sGw6r5GVA5g/видео.html&lc=UgwdeYZy2Nqsf7Cc66F4AaABAg
Sadly, the website I used for the demonstration has changed since the video was recorded and so the code shown in the video doesn't work any longer, but you can download a working version of the file from the link in the description and the video will still give you some useful ideas I think!
@@WiseOwlTutorials i`ll check... you are truly a teacher!
Perfect!!!!!!!!
