Excel/VBA - Loop through list of URLs (29 .xls files) to open and paste data into 1 single sheet












1















I have a sheet with 3 columns: URL - Target Sheet - Row



The URLs direct you to a .XLS file download automatically (example below):



http://www.eurexrepo.com/blob/157370/ccb5c831da64925cfc15aff4c5e4be85/data/euro_gjpbasket.xls



What I would like to do is to have a VBA code that loops through the rows (B2:B30) that contain the 29 links (please see image) and copy/pastes the data into a unique target sheet (specified in the second column C2:C30) in a predefined row number of the target sheet (specified in 3rd column: D2:D30).



List of URLs in cells



This is the code that I am trying to use:



Sub Import_Baskets()

Dim Rows As Long, links As Variant, link As Variant
Rows = Sheets("Admin").Cells(Sheets("Admin").Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
links = Sheets("Admin").Range("B1:B" & Rows)

For Each link In links

Dim wkbMyWorkbook As Workbook
Dim wkbWebWorkbook As Workbook
Dim wksWebWorkSheet As Worksheet

Set wkbMyWorkbook = ActiveWorkbook

' *************************************************
' Open The Web Workbook
' *************************************************

' *************************************************
' Set the Web Workbook and Worksheet Variables
' *************************************************
Set wkbWebWorkbook = ActiveWorkbook
Set wksWebWorkSheet = ActiveSheet

' *************************************************
' Copy The Web Worksheet To My Workbook and Rename
' *************************************************
wksWebWorkSheet.Copy After:=wkbMyWorkbook.Sheets(Sheets.Count)
wkbMyWorkbook.Sheets(ActiveSheet.Name).Name = "GC"

'.Range("$A$" + row_number)
' *************************************************
' Close the Web Workbook
' *************************************************
wkbMyWorkbook.Activate
wkbWebWorkbook.Close


Next link

'Next


End Sub


Any help will be much appreciated! :)

  • It doesn't recognize the links in the rows (that's where I get the problem when debugging)

Sub Import_Baskets()

Dim lastRow As Long, link As String
Dim targetSheet As Worksheet
Dim webBook As Workbook
Dim webSheet As Worksheet
Dim shName As String

' set your start and last row
For row = 2 To lastRow

link = Trim(CStr(.Range("B" & row).Value))
shName = Trim(CStr(.Range("C" & row).Value))
stRow = .Range("D" & row).Value

' open web wb
