[Excel] Dynamic Web Query Returning no Data

Hello everyone,

I'm completely new to VB editing and I finally got the basics of the web query working. However, when I try to make it dynamic by referencing a cell for the parameter, it say the web query returned no data.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...it should be a very simple query, I only have one parameter.

Here's my code:

activecell.QueryTable.Connection="URL;http://www.google.com/products/catalog?cid=[""GoogleNumber""]"

Everything works fine until I click "refresh" and select the cell I want the query to use for the CID/Google Number.

Can anyone help?

You don't need VBA code to make a web query dynamic by referencing a cell for the parameter, as you describe, and it refreshing automatically when the cell value changes. Everything can be set up using the Excel UI - see http://www.jkp-ads.com/articles/webquery.asp

Thank you. I figured out what was wrong all along - the actual value I was testing with was incorrect. As in, the GoogleNumber value was wrong. Lol. At least I know my method was right!

This is resolved now.

It was the value I was trying to use to test that was wrong, so my code was ok. :) I fudged up my number somehow, haha. Sometimes the problem is so silly.
