Extract table from webpage using VBA - html

Question

I would like to extract the table from html code into Excel using VBA.
I have tried the following code several times with changing some of the code but keep on getting error.
Sub GrabTable()
'dimension (set aside memory for) our variables
Dim objIE As InternetExplorer
Dim ele As Object
Dim y As Integer
'start a new browser instance
Set objIE = New InternetExplorer
'make browser visible
objIE.Visible = False
'navigate to page with needed data
objIE.navigate "http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/5923061"
'wait for page to load
Do While objIE.Busy = True Or objIE.readyState <> 4: DoEvents: Loop
'we will output data to excel, starting on row 1
y = 1
'look at all the 'tr' elements in the 'table' with id 'InputTable2',
'and evaluate each, one at a time, using 'ele' variable
For Each ele In objIE.document.getElementByClassName("InputTable2").getElementsByTagName("tr")
'show the text content of 'td' element being looked at
Debug.Print ele.textContent
'each 'tr' (table row) element contains 2 children ('td') elements
'put text of 1st 'td' in col A
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & y).Value = ele.Children(0).textContent
'put text of 2nd 'td' in col B
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B" & y).Value = ele.Children(1).textContent
y = y + 1
'repeat until last ele has been evaluated
Next
End Sub

Answer 1

I show you two methods:
Using IE: The data is inside an iframe which needs to be negotiated
Using XMLHTTP request - much faster and without browser opening. It uses the first part of the iframe document URL which is what the iframe is navigating to.
In both cases I access the tables containing the company name and then the disclosure info table. For the disclosure main info table I copy the outerHTML to the clipboard and paste to Excel to avoid looping all the rows and columns. You can simply set loop the tr (table rows) and td (table cells) within instead.
IE:
Option Explicit
Public Sub GetInfo()
Dim IE As New InternetExplorer, clipboard As Object
With IE
.Visible = True
.navigate "http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/5923061"
While .Busy Or .readyState < 4: DoEvents: Wend
Set clipboard = GetObject("New:{1C3B4210-F441-11CE-B9EA-00AA006B1A69}")
With .document.getElementById("bm_ann_detail_iframe").contentDocument
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1) = .getElementsByClassName("company_name")(0).innerText
clipboard.SetText .getElementsByTagName("table")(1).outerHTML
clipboard.PutInClipboard
End With
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(2, 1).PasteSpecial
.Quit
End With
End Sub
XMLHTTP:
You can extract a different URL from the front-end of the iframe URL and use that as shown below.
Here is the section of your original HTML that shows the iframe and the associated new URL info:
Option Explicit
Public Sub GetTable()
Dim sResponse As String, html As HTMLDocument, clipboard As Object
Set html = New HTMLDocument
With CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
.Open "GET", "http://disclosure.bursamalaysia.com/FileAccess/viewHtml?e=2891609", False
.setRequestHeader "If-Modified-Since", "Sat, 1 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT"
.send
sResponse = StrConv(.responseBody, vbUnicode)
End With
html.body.innerHTML = sResponse
With html
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1) = .querySelector(".company_name").innerText
Set clipboard = GetObject("New:{1C3B4210-F441-11CE-B9EA-00AA006B1A69}")
clipboard.SetText .querySelector(".InputTable2").outerHTML
clipboard.PutInClipboard
End With
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(2, 1).PasteSpecial
End Sub

Try it this way.
Sub Web_Table_Option_Two()
Dim HTMLDoc As New HTMLDocument
Dim objTable As Object
Dim lRow As Long
Dim lngTable As Long
Dim lngRow As Long
Dim lngCol As Long
Dim ActRw As Long
Dim objIE As InternetExplorer
Set objIE = New InternetExplorer
objIE.Navigate "http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/5923061"
Do Until objIE.ReadyState = 4 And Not objIE.Busy
DoEvents
Loop
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03")) 'wait for java script to load
HTMLDoc.body.innerHTML = objIE.Document.body.innerHTML
With HTMLDoc.body
Set objTable = .getElementsByTagName("table")
For lngTable = 0 To objTable.Length - 1
For lngRow = 0 To objTable(lngTable).Rows.Length - 1
For lngCol = 0 To objTable(lngTable).Rows(lngRow).Cells.Length - 1
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(ActRw + lngRow + 1, lngCol + 1) = objTable(lngTable).Rows(lngRow).Cells(lngCol).innerText
Next lngCol
Next lngRow
ActRw = ActRw + objTable(lngTable).Rows.Length + 1
Next lngTable
End With
objIE.Quit
End Sub
