The symbol itself can also be returned. Ensure the cell where you would like the data to be downloaded to is selected in your spreadsheet.

This is because in most if not all countries in Europe, the semi-colon is used as separator, whereas in the comma is used as separator. Note: the difference in regional settings between countries including but not limited to list separator, date and time is actually the source of many bugs in software systems.
To do so, open Excel and create a new Workbook. Locate and select the table. Do not forget to precise that your file has headers i. Click Next. In Step 2, you have to choose the delimiter that separate columns. Leave the text qualifier as double-quote and click next. Finally, select the sheet and range where you want the data to be imported.
The selected cell represents the upper-right corner of the new table containing the CSV data. Click OK. Another way to import data into Excel is to import data directly from a table displayed on a Web page.
The main difference from importing data from Text File is that the source and format is quite different from a text file. Any other tag will not be considered.
So, this means that if your data is not contained inside a table, you cannot easily import the data into Excel. Note that Excel is using a legacy browser to access Web pages and you might be prompt with the following error multiple times:.
Note that it is possible to select and thus import several tables at once. In the example above, we selected weekly stock values from the 1 st of January to 14 th of March , which gives the following URL:. We are going to show you how to automatically import historical stock data directly using Yahoo Finance API, but without having to download the file locally before importing it as shown in the previous chapter.
Fortunately, it is possible to use this API from Excel. However, for this purpose, we first need to better understand how Excel is working and, more precisely, what VBA code is generated when we import external data into Excel.
One of the best feature of Excel is that you can generate VBA code based on your actions performed in Excel. Here we just gives a brief summary. Now, any action that you do in Excel will be recorded in this Macro in a new module called Module1. If later you decide to execute the macro again, all actions that you performed will be re-executed at once. As you might expect, Excel can do more than recording simple actions.
In fact, Excel can also record more complex action such as importing external data. Now you know where we am going! The idea is to first start recording a macro and then import external data as shown in the previous chapter. Hence, if you import the CSV file called table. As you can see, both macro are using an essential object to import external data, namely the QueryTable object.
You can think of this object as containing a Query that produces a Table once executed. Depending on the method chosen to import data, that connection string can be quite different.
