Get external data by dynamical url -> no update

[drofluga]

Hi there,

i have a problem to update my external data. I read a URL from the
Field B5 and then i try to connect to this URL and read my datas but
Excel doesnt update this data when i change the URL. I guess this
problem is related to the "import data" dialog in Excel, but i'm not
sure.

here is my code:


'Read the current URL
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Dim zelle
zelle = "B5"
Dim wert
wert = Range(zelle).value

'update sheet
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;" & wert & "" _
, Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = "AlertUser"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.WebSelectionType = xlSpecifiedTables
.WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingNone
.WebTables = _
"""Header_g_a134c740_e525_4177_bdd8_e384ed89782d_alertstable"""
.WebPreFormattedTextToColumns = True
.WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne = True
.WebSingleBlockTextImport = False
.WebDisableDateRecognition = False
.WebDisableRedirections = False
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With


I hope that anyone can help me.

Best Regards

Julian

no ideas?

can you not try an event code like
worksheet_change.
so that if the target value is changed the corresponding url is opened.

Thanks for you idea, but the URL is always correct. Excel only doesnt
put the data into the sheet when i change the url.
