Hi folks, how can I link a cell to the current stock price from the web?

I tried going to DATA, GET EXTERNAL DATA, RUN SAVED QUERY, MSN MONEY STOCK QUOTES, but it inserts a whole page of data. I want just the last price.

Thanks,

I've always done this by having a full page of data ... and then link the desired target cell to the "Stock price' in the full page of data ... I know there was a more elegant way on the PC ... but as I understand they couldn't easily port that feature (used ActiveX i think)

You may need to redesign your sheet slightly. Keep the large sheet with all
the data hidden. Make a new sheet with the data you want linked to the
hidden sheet.
