I am using ms excel 2016 standard and OS is windows 10. I have been trying to use web query feature in excel to download a data from a website but have been getting scripting error. how i can avoid that. Also i guess my excel tries to open the web page thru Internet explorer. i don't have intrernet explorer in my desktop. But i have MS edge. can I change to google chrome?
I already tried the below option, but still not working.
a. Open Windows key + R and type inetcpl.cpl and press OK.
b. On the Internet Options windows, click on Advanced.
c. Check "Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer)" and "Disable script debugging (Other)" and uncheck "Display a notification about every script error."
d. Click on OK. Now, check for the issue.

Hi @Savitri K
Does this issue occur with other web URLs?
The web access via EXCEL 2016 is IE based, it can not be changed.
Please try New Query > From Web option, check whether you may load the data successfully.

Hi @Jiajing Hua-MFST - Thank you for the response
Does this issue occur with other web URLs? - yes it does.
Please try New Query > From Web option, check whether you may load the data successfully. - The scripting error did pop up again. Though I can just escape it but that will be a manual intervention.
