Excel Web Data

Hi Expert,

Need to download .DAT file from web via excel 2010.

Step 1 Put start date & End Date
Step 2 (a) Macro run – if data is available for that date then download to new sheet & then create new workbook for that particular sheet with date as its name.
Step 2 (b) Macro Run – if data is not available then go for next date.
Step 3 downloading data for next date.

As downloadable link is this…
http://nseindia.com/archives/equities/mto/MTO_04012013.DAT
where 04012013 is date (ddmmyyyy). So if we replace that with different date data will appear for that date.

Please Help Me Out In This.

Thank You

Could you run this code (for one sheet and tell me if the format is OK)

Sub Macro1()

xx = InputBox("enter date ddmmyyyy")
Sheets.Add

    With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="URL;http://nseindia.com/archives/equities/mto/MTO_" & xx & ".DAT", Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
        '.Name = "MTO_4012012"
        .FieldNames = True
        .RowNumbers = False
        .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .BackgroundQuery = True
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .WebSelectionType = xlEntirePage
        .WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingNone
        .WebPreFormattedTextToColumns = True
        .WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne = True
        .WebSingleBlockTextImport = False
        .WebDisableDateRecognition = False
        .WebDisableRedirections = False
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With
    Columns("A:A").Select
    Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
        TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, _
        Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True, Space:=False, Other:=False

End Sub

Sir The_Barman,

Yes code is perfect but need to add one more thing... add date column for that particular date. And need separate workbook for each & every date to create via macro as in this code it create sheets for particular date need separate for each date i.e. o1jan2013.csv, o2jan2013.csv, 3jan2013.csv......and so on.....csv(coma delimited) format.

Pls see attached file.....

Thank You
