xSkrape for Excel Add-in
There are two different xSkrape Excel add-ins: for Excel "Web" and Excel Desktop.
Both share similar functionality but have some important differences:
Online / Cloud |
Desktop |
- Task pane stores one or more data connections in your worksheets
- Data imported on demand
- Using absolute and/or relative cell references, able to build dynamic queries like you can using the Desktop add-in
- Worksheets that have xSkrape data connections can work from any Excel client (can only refresh where Online add-in is available)
- Can send SMS / EMails from within worksheets, using worksheet-generated content
- Pricing: credit-based system that reflects cloud resource usage (less than a penny per credit)
- xSkrape web site: ability to track usage and more
- Can link multiple users to one web site account, sharing credit usage
|
- New functions added to existing Excel functions
- Recalculation (data refresh) controlled by Excel recalcuation settings/rules
- Worksheets with xSkrape functions will only work where xSkrape add-in is installed
- Page Explorer tool helps you go from the data you're expecting to get ultimately to a definition of how to get it
- Pricing: one-time cost per product version (no requirement to upgrade)
