Hi,

I just found your site and this Excel program. Thanks for posting it!

I’m not able to get it to run for me though. My problem may be that I am running a Mac with Office 2008 (Macros are enabled.) Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Richard

Getting this error:
System Error &H80072EE2 (-2147012894). The operation timed out.

Any help?

Thanks!

In reply to Andy.

P.S I know I can do this manually via the macro editor – it would just be easier for the Macro / scrupt virgins.

Works for me now in Excel 2003 Yoav – thanks!

Would be great to have a cell in there to put in which version of Google you want to match against such as http://www.google.co.uk 🙂

Tony, can you please re-download and give it another go?
I’ve fixed the code and tested it on older Office versions.

Hey Yoav,
Thanks for this but I haven’t had any luck so far trying to use it.
I’me getting the same error described above: 2Method or data memeber not found.”
It’s within the “Sub CompetitorResearch()” and specifically is the “sheet.Sort” after the comment
” Order the result list by “Above me” and then by “Below me”, so stronger competitors appear first

i’m running Excel 2003 SP3. Any idea of what might be causing this?

I get a runtime error: “Overflow” (Excel 2007) after I get 2 results returned.

Otherwise, it is pretty nice tool.

Rob, you seem to get the same error like Andy above.
What version of Excel are you using?

Andy, what version of Excel are you using?
Also, maybe try downloading the file again and see if it works now.
