General Weather Chat / MS Excel + updated data from NWS website
« on: October 31, 2011, 02:02:15 PM »
So has anyone else here (besides me) tried doing anything like this? Automatically inputting & updating data from the National Weather Service's website into MS Excel (or Open Office.org)? I finally found out how to do this about a week and a half ago, and I actually use OpenOffice.org's spreadsheet to do it. I find it to be a convenient way to update the current conditions in my area without actually going to the NWS or TWC website to get that info that way.
The reason why I was trying to do this was so I could link it to my TWC emulator so I wouldn't have to enter the info into the presentation program manually, like I do now. It would save me a lot of time, because now it takes me up to 3 hours, if not more, to make the TWC emulator videos. It's very time consuming. But I haven't gotten to that point though yet (where I can just link the data from the spreadsheet into the presentation).
