export figure from Outlook msg to Excel

[Max Bialystock]

I'd like to be able to use a macro in Outlook 2003 to find "Total sales" in
the current mail item and export the result to A1 in an Excel spreadsheet.

I think it's possible, but I don't know how to do it.

The following day I would run the macro again and export the result to A2 in
the same spreadsheet.

If anyone can assist at all, I'll be very grateful indeed.

You can search strings in the mail with the Instr function, and extract them
e.g. with Left, Right, and Mid.

Add a reference to Excel to your Outlook project via Tools/References. This
opens a workbook:

Dim xl As Excel.Application
dim wb as Excel.Workbook
Dim ws as Excel.Worksheet
Dim rn as Excel.Range

Set xl=new Excel.Application
Set wb=xl.Workbooks.Open("file")
Set ws=wb.sheets(1)
Set rn=ws.Range("A1")

rn.Value = "hello"
