PPH089_007
PPH089_001 Refactoring and extending searching Google for references
The specification is laid out more clearly in the attached .docx file.
The attached Excel Workbook enables a user to specify many search words and then establish the number of references that Google would return for that search within the country and date period specified. An amended version, PPH089_006.xlsm, of the earlier version is attached. Please fix any bugs that may have been introduced.
GE, FK & TR are prefixes used to indicate Google, Facebook & Twitter
The following changes have been made:
1 The worksheet, Command, name has been changed to GE_Command
2 The worksheet, Search, name has been changed to GE_Search
3 The worksheet, Results, name has been changed to GE_Results
4 An additional column has been added to GE_Results to contain the date and time of each entry in the form dd-mm-yy hh:mm
5 The following sheets have been added:
a. FE_Search & FE_Results
b. TR_Search &TR_Results
Further comments are set out below:
GE_Command
Add a date selector to duplicate the Google’s date selector:
Any time
Past hour
Past 24 hours
Past week
Past month
Past year
Custom range
The present date selector should be is inactive until Custom range is chosen. If Custom range is NOT selected, then put the name of the item that is selected into the “From” field and make the “To” field blank. Amend the relevant VBA code.
GE_Results
1 A column has been added, “Generated on”, please populate this with the now() value.
2 Check that the program works correctly with the revised worksheet names and other changes
FK_Search
This worksheet is similar to GE_Search except that it now has a command button, Search, which, when pressed, invokes the VBA function “getFacebook” for each Facebook Identifier listed in FK_Search as follows:
Strresults=getFacebook(https://www.Facebook.com/). Strresults has two possible outcomes:
1 “FB,Identifier:,Result:’Not found’, Generated on: dd-mm-yy hh:mm”
When, cannot be found.
2 “FB,Identifier:,Result:,Likers:,Followers:,Visitors:,Generated on: dd-mm-yy hh:mm”
In this case Likers, Visitors & Followers can be identified and screen scrapped. See:
https://www.Facebook.com/aldiuk which includes a panel containing information such as:
1,572,114 people like this
1,528,935 people follow this
4,420 people have visited
Strresults is then written to the next free row in FK_Results.
TR_Searches & TR_Results are the same as for FK but are to obtain Twitter statistics.
If you execute https://twitter.com/AldiUK you will see a panel with this information:
Tweets Following Followers Likes Lists Moments
88.3K 3,765 307K 44.1K 3 2
In this case we need another VBA function, “getTwitter” which should be called as follows:
Strresult=getTwitter(https://twitter.com/AldiUK)
Which could then return either:
1 “TW,Identifier:,Result:’Not found’, Generated on: dd-mm-yy hh:mm”
When, <Facebook Identified” cannot be found or:
3 “TW,Identifier:,Result:,Tweets:,Following:,Followers:,Likes:,Lists:,moments:<number of moments<,Generated on: dd-mm-yy hh:mm”
Where ‘K’ used, convert to a full number.
