How to Extract Data From Website to Excel?

by Ryan Lindsley SEO Expert

Today, it is not an easy task to extract data from website to excel. In the earlier days, if you have a website or you want to make some changes in your site and want to get more information from it then you will have to get its HTML code. It may even take days or weeks to get the required data only if you have to complete the process of HTML coding. You may also face problems like the server side coding. In such situations, you may need to use any external program to extract data from website to excel.


There are several advantages of using this method. One advantage is that it saves your efforts if you know HTML. Now you can easily make any changes in your site without wasting much time by downloading a program.


In case you are using your site for official purposes, then you should consider the availability of official software to use. Even if your website is available in publicly available domain, but it will be difficult to access it due to copyright issues. In such cases you should consider using an open source project or a fork of the open source project to create your own site to get the required information without any problem. If you find difficulty in using fork based software then you should consider using downloaded software from the website or from open source repository. However, make sure that the downloaded software is accurate and up-to-date. Using older versions may damage your website's performance and accuracy.


Another advantage of using downloaded software to scrape data from website to excel is that the software will help you save time and money. You will not have to pay any fees for a licensed copy of Excel. Downloaded software is available at minimal cost. This means that you can use the same program to extract data from website to Excel even if you purchase a license for this program later.


One thing you need to keep in mind is to check if the program is compatible with the website you are using to get the data. Some software will only work if the website has HTML coding, while other may work even in non-HTML environment. So, if the HTML code of your website is not compatible with Excel program then you can try other available programs to extract data from website to excel.


In order to extract data from website to excel file you can either use basic program, which is free and available on many websites or you can use licensed premium product available on various websites. Free product is more popular because they are less expensive. But they are not as good as licensed premium products which offer better data protection, flexibility and features. A good paid product will back up its data in real time.


Another way to scrape data from website to excel is by using 'awsift' software. This tool can extract data from any type of word processing website. This tool is a part of Microsoft Office Suite, which is widely used by all professional software companies. To use this tool you need to have an access to servers where data is actually stored. If your website does not have any data store then you would not be able to use this tool.


All types of data can be extracted from website to excel like sales figures, customer database, etc. If required you can also go for more complicated extraction like removing duplicate records and generating reports. To use this, you can hire a company that offers this service. However, this service will cost you some money.
