It's not as simple as just pulling the exacta data. The visual basic code must sign in, get the list of events and races, allow the user to select which event race, then download the exacta matrix. It should after that be able to listen for updates instead of polling. I would much rather wait a little while and create a library that everyone can reuse over and over instead of creating a one off that likely will only work for 1 or 2 players. Then it is something we can support for years to come instead of dropping it the first time a change happens. I am the only one of our developers that has any experience in visual basic and its been at least 13 years since I touched it.

Whenever I can find a point I can slip it in and work on it I will. I still cannot guarantee any time frame.

To follow up on my ill-mannered post from yesterday Jason and I have been in contact and he takes my concerns seriously.

I appreciate the high level of customer service from amwager.

On the excel sheets, we will create a Visual Basic (excel) library you can use in the future. I cannot guarantee actual timing as all of our development resources are tied up currently. Possibly late spring early summer. There will be other updates between now and then that I think most players will like.
Thanks, I'll give it a try today.

On the excel sheets, .
...



I posted an Excel workbook here at PA back in 2017 that imported data from Brisnet's Supertote. When Supertote was killed I started getting the data from my AmWager account by simply using Select all, Copy, and Paste Special (unformatted) to a worksheet preformatted as text. (A VBA macro code can do this using 'send keys'.) Once the info is on the worksheet it can be parsed or referenced to find whatever you're interested in. Be sure to have the Exacta Grid showing before "Copy"


If Amwager sets up an Excel import it would be fantastic!

Almost done the first version. Probably 2 weeks out on update.. a few other things we want to complete.

We are adding a "Copy Data" button which will create a table structure that can be pasted into any spreadsheet program.

Later we will add some excel specific coding to be able to automatically put it into a specific file and sheet. For now wanted to get something out that everyone could use regardless of platform.

And for clarity.. this is for the current UI not the new one.
