I have a list of companies (apprx. 4,000) in a Google Spreadsheet. Is it possible to use this function (or some other) to search Google by (for example) cell A1 (with the company name) and cell e1 (zip code, or city name), and then simply put the FIRST google result into an empty cell? I’m hoping the first result will be a company website. The results wouldn’t be perfect, but it certainly would cut out the fat.

I’m having trouble finding anything the can accomplish this (in Excel or Google).

Thanks.

Hi,
when a login is required to a certain site with tables, is there a way to script the login into the ImportHtml syntex?
Thanks,
Z.

Thank you.

Additional question I want to do what you have done but I want to leave the table names out. How do I do that.

In particular you can look at:

and see that there is a number of HTML pages to download and I don’t need the header on each import. It will make it much easier to manipulate the data if the header appears only once.

Thank you.
