Web Integration and Excel


 - What you're going to do in this section is to download data from the internet, and put it straight into an Excel worksheet. We have a page on our website that is set up for you to download straight into a spreadsheet, and we'll give you the address shortly.
An example of why you would want to download data from a website is this.
You are salesperson out in the field, visiting clients in their homes or offices. You have a laptop that can connect to the internet. There is a spreadsheet on your laptop. The spreadsheet includes lots of data about the products you sell. One piece of data is the prices of each item. Your company is rather ferocious on prices, and it changes them all the time. The question is, how can you, as a salesperson in the field, keep up to date with the changing prices?
One answer is to use an Excel Web Query. The company will update the prices on the website. You can then run a Web Query to download the latest changes into your Excel spreadsheet. That way the clients get the new prices "Hot of the Presses".

We'll see how to run a Web Query soon. But you need a connection to the internet before you can run a Web Query. In other words, you need to be online. (However, if you know some HTML coding, you can construct a table in a web page that is on your own computer. Then you point the Web Query to the web page on your computer, rather than a web page on the internet. Don't worry if you don't know any HTML coding - it's not necessary for this section.)
But don't go online just yet. Read a few more pages first.

Sorting Images in Windows 7  -In the previous section, you learned how to add information to an image. In this section, you'll se what you can do with all this information. This comes under the topic of Sorting. First, though, change your View slider from  Tiles  to  Details : When you arrange the window to Details view, your screen should look like this one: We now have a list of images with the Name, Date, Tags, Size and Ratings showing. These headings can all be used to sort your images. Click on the Ratings, for example, and you'll see a dropdown box: You can choose to display only images with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 stars. All you need to do is to check each box. The ones not checked will then be hidden: Here, we're choosing to display only 1 and 2 star images, perhaps with a view to deleting them.
