Excel 2000 Step By Step. What URL to use in Lesson 8?

[dougcsdp]

p 151 tells us to enter a url for importing data from web. But which URL?
I'm connected to web and have installed cd to my pc.
I found the correct errata in mspress for this book but it doesn't list the
missing url as an error.
thanks

I suspect that as the data was for xl2000 that the url is no longer available.

I am guessing that you are learning how to do a Web Query.

Any URL that you know has some importable data will do.

Try this one to import some financial numbers.

Or this for some Hockey stats

Yes Gord, I have this book and it tells you how to create a web query,
but doesn't specify a website. You would just pick any one.
