Get External Data From Web - Browser Upgrade

Anonymous

I pull data from the web as part of an excel macro. The website that i pull it from no longer supports IE8, thus completely nullifying the ability to pull.

Is there a way to upgrade excel's browser to a higher form of IE or to utilize a different browser?

Thanks,

Gary

    I'm not asking about browsers for normal use, I'm asking about the browser used within Excel to get external data.  When I attempt to pull data from certain sites in a macro, instead of getting data from the website, I am getting messages that the site is no longer compatible with IE8.  Below is a screenshot of the front-end way the data is accessed and the message from the website.

    Hi Gary,

    If you are using Windows 10, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge are the browsers pre-installed on your PC. Please tell us more about your issue and please also include a screenshot for better understanding.

    We're looking forward to your response.
