I am trying to get a VBA web scraping tool to pull the data from Zillow for all sold properties within the last 24 months and paste it in an analytical format. The issues I am running into are:

1- the data is pulled as HTML format so it is stuffed into a single cell. I have tried A-tried first to do a blanket convert to column function but the lengths are all variable and it will also sometimes cut off anything past the address. B- tried to copy and paste to a .txt file but the path kept breaking somewhere and not all the data made it.

2- click the “Next page” button. I have tried A-searching href tags to create the next URL, the keep coming back as “Null” and break the chain B- using CSS selector to pick the tag with the title “Next page”. I think this is working, but it just keeps clicking the pages without downloading the data after page 1.

Bonus points if you can: -Also download the link href. See point 2 as I keep getting null whenever I try to get the href.

Make it so the base URL pulls from a cell on sheet1 so I can make it more dynamic. Whenever I try it either tells me a specific range is not constant or the object is not valid.

Any help or clarity on what I am doing wrong would be helpful! Code:

I have been struggling to find a subject to deep study… the subjects(more like choices)are: Django, unity game programming, reverse engineering in assembly, and java app development. I would be happy if someone could light me up at one or more of the subjects from his own experience or recommending me about a new subject of his own(Note: Telling me to try and find out by myself won’t help…) I have knowledge in python, java, C#, and a little bit of html\css

I have tried unity, java app developing in android studio and I messed with Django a little bit… but every time I started a project I didn’t actually finish it.

I am interested in learning all of them but can’t decide which one to start with and I end up learning nothing:v

Thanks in advance

We’ve been asked to provide a JavaScript API to pass X,Y,Z coordinates from a Tableau Workbook to VisMockup (Teamcenter Lifecycle Visualization). We’ve received the code from a similar function but the 3D Graphics Software was Integrating Vision Toolkit (IVT). https://bit.ly/30heLVu

The hope was that our developer could change whatever connection parameters were required from IVT to those required by VisMockup.

Can anyone point me toward sample documentation for TcVis APIs?

Thanks.

I’m a beginner trying to embed Tableau visualization into my web page, such that whenever the link is clicked, visualization is rendered on the page. But the browser loads with an error on the tableau Software object. How can I initialize this object?

I’m using the Tableau server trial version

        <a href="#" onclick="$('#tableauViz').html(''); initializeViz()">visualize</a>
