Truly it's a great piece of software and dispelled most of my doubts on Linux, using Linux, libre office etc etc Question / request reading ------------------------------------------ *However some specific doubts remain on libre office *I've been using M$ XL's add on for grabbing web data , called smf add in *When activated, once could easily grab specific pages, specific cells of web pages directly into xl ( without opening a web browser) *This is a great time saver *The only and only / excellent group for using smf add in can be found at <a href="http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/smf_addin/" target="_blank">http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/smf_addin/</a> *Some basic write up on using smf add in can be found here <a href="http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/326478-derek-a-barrett/1414481-automating-alpha-getting-started-with-stock-market-functions-smf-add-in-for-excel" target="_blank">http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/326478-derek-a-barrett/1414481-automating-alpha-getting-started-with-stock-market-functions-smf-add-in-for-excel</a> Now, my question is , is there a similar add in for libre office, when invoked , could help the user get specific cells ( not the whole web page ) from a URL into libre xl sheets ? Of course the user supplies the URL Or is there some app in Linux that can do the same ? How do people grab specific web data ( not entire pages ) but specific data for web pages into libre calc ? **IF such a web add in exists I am ready to join the testing community ** Request to Moderators ; if I am posting on the wrong area or group please most this post accordingly Thanks in advance Regards </pre> </div></body> </html>
