I have an excel sheet that all of my colleagues and I share and open each day. I have been thinking and trying to get an RSS feed from Top comment on /r/Jokes from the last 24 hours into being displayed in excel so that it would shows a new joke each day potentially.
I have tried a few things which didn't work as planning but one of the results was close:
When just using https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/top/.rss?sort=top&t=day it "breaks" my Excel meaning: It simply stops responding and dies. I have tried this on 3 computers didn't work on any.
I then tried making an account at https://fetchrss.com/ which gives exactly what I want it to look like. picture
Again this is only something I've been trying as I was unable to get "raw" data directly from reddit.
Below is not a definitive way I want to go as I don't think I'm doing it right or it may just be impossible to do it like that. So I made an account and registered to get the link http://fetchrss.com/rss/5b0a9c9a8a93f83d798b4567795678325.xml where it shows only the first result (the top one) which is fine.
What I tried was get the data in the excel sheet deleting the unnecessary columns and in a new colum write =stripHTML(B3)
as this was the only function I could find on the internet that would remove the HTML codes.
That is of course not working as intended as I want the "writing" HTML codes such as parentheses, quote to actually be visible in the sheet this is what it looked like what I tried to fix it with tape image
(I am also a little unsure if this method works at all, meaning if it actually shows the data automatically in the sheet each day? I want this to be "automatically" meaning someone shouldn't have to refresh the data every morning to see something new)
So to sum up what i'm trying to do
I'm trying to get a "live" feed from https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/top/?sort=top&t=day to be shown in the excel sheet.
Preferably it should ONLY be the "top" comment of the day.
Preferably I would like the RSS feed to come directly from reddit, but if that is not possible then i'm OK with using a alternate site it can go through like http://fetchrss.com/rss/5b0a9c9a8a93f83d798b4567795678325.xml
I hope it is possibly, thank you.
