unable to disable/delete embedded Web Query links in excel - screen shots added
Web Select - first copy into Word - then copy and paste to Excel appears to not include hidden code, until copy and paste to Excel proves the formulas and conditional formatting do not work properly due to the hidden/embedded code (Web Query).
do you want to fetch data directly from the website rather than "Web Select" via a copy (like below) & paste?
Hmmm. that sounds like it should simplify my life!
does that apply to my situation?
....I am trying to pull down YEARS of data from financial institutions which currently only offer PDF downloads for data older than 18 months (useless to me, since i need transactional data in excel format, CSV might work, or a reliable method of PDF to ANY format without EXTENSIVE rework to format properly)
- I have no idea your case in detail.
if you want to parse PDF file,there are many api service available.

http://e.anyoupin.cn/bsbm/stu60/a83/spire/upload_pdf.htmlI cannot find a method to accurately parse data via the VERY expensive Acrobat PDF software (with CRAP support) I already own..... thank you for your input.
I'm not sure what is API, but looking into that...
not sure why I am investing so heavily in Acrobat, when I can't already "online pdf to excel", but looking into that.
I will try the other option (pdf to text) you offered...Maybe I am over-invested in Acrobat?
THANK YOU!
- api is a interface or software package by which support program language (e.g c# php java) can automate your work.
