Updating/Refreshing my file from a different website?
I have a file that I need to use updated fuel pricing at all times. The website my excel file is linked to updates once a week, usually on Tuesday.
Need:
How can I have this sheet refreshed from the website (EIA.gov) onto my Smartsheet file?
Nice to have:
I would like the data point I use on the sheet to be rounded to 2 decimal points in order to function with my other sheets.

I hope you're well and safe!
One way would be to scrape the data and import it to Smartsheet.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Do you have access to Data Shuttle or the API?
-
I am unfamiliar with either of those. If it is web browser extension I would need to contact my IT dept before anything else.
-
How would I scrape the data?
Does that mean to update it manually in Excel and upload to Smartsheet every week?
-
It depends on how much data it is.
As Paul mentioned, Data Shuttle and the Smartsheet API are other options.
How much information is it, and how often would it need to be updated?
