I have a free open-source add-in that can grab the information off the web pages for you, using formulas in EXCEL. The add-in, documentation on its functions, and sample templates can be found in the files area of this Yahoo group:
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/smf_addin/ For example, the following function grabs one table cell off the S&P web page: =RCHGetTableCell("http://www2.standardandpoors.com/portal/site/sp/en/au/page.topic/indices_asx200/2,3,2,8,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,0,"&$A3&",0,0,0.html",C$1,">Sector",,,,$B3) ...where: -- Cell A3 contains the page number (varies from 1 to 5 for the ASX S&P 200) -- Cell C1 contains the column number of the table to extract (1=ticker symbol, 2=Company name, ..., 6=Price) -- Cell B3 contains the row number of the table to extract the data from (varies from 1 to 50 on the first 4 pages of the ASX S&P 200, but the 5th page only has data on the first row) I was able to construct a table within EXCEL to grab the data using the formula above.
