Step 2 |
Open Excel and create a new blank workbook
We will use a new blank workbook for our testing purposes. In this example, we will invoke
Excel2013 function named "WEBSERVICE" and "FILTERXML" to request and process service result.
We will be using TRIEBRARY service GetTaxInfo for our test purposes. This service returns the tax information for a given parcel id.

Step 3 |
Invoke web service call
Next step is to setup the fields for invoking the web service. First, we are going to create a set of input fields and
then create the formulae's for retrieving the data through webservice
Note: You can use test FIPS code as 99999 and parcel id as 0000100000 |
Step 4 |
View the results
Let us create a title for our output columns first.
Note: EXCEL 2013 has a timer which returns "#VALUE" error if the WEBSERVICE function did not return any value within a period of three seconds. You may also see a "#VALUE" error if the returned XML is larger than the cell limit (32767 characters). |
