Completed Posted Jul 23, 2008 Paid on delivery
Completed Paid on delivery

We have a simple spreadsheet that creates the xml link needed to download 1 month of price data from the California Independent System Operator ([url removed, login to view]).? The CAISO limits downloads to 1 month or less.? We would like to automate the process for downloading a years worth of data and combining it in one spreadsheet.? It may be necessary to save the files in Access or .csv if it exceeds Excel's row limit (not essential).?

Some experience with downloading electric and ancillary services price data would be a big plus.?

Prefer automation to be through visual basic macro in Excel spreadsheet, as I can do some modification if necessary in the future, and most of my office is familiar with Excel. Open to other options.

Note that xml downloads a zip file which must then be opened/transferred to Excel spreadsheet or database.

**Be sure to look at uploaded spreadsheet with examples, there are numerous different xml codes and specifications!**
