I've used the example from this document to try to get it to work:</p> <p><a href="http://www.labnol.org/internet/monitor-web-pages-changes-with-google-docs/4536/" rel="nofollow">http://www.labnol.org/internet/monitor-web-pages-changes-with-google-docs/4536/</a></p> <p>For some reason, it doesn't work. Even the example no longer works. When using the =ImportXML("www.google.com/products?q=ipod+nano","//b[@class='ps-larger-t']") example, it says "The XPath query did not return any data." I'm assuming the XPath data changed. When I use Googles examples, all I get are Parse Errors.</p> <p>All I'm trying to do is get the current prices from this app into a spreadsheet. It really shouldn't be this difficult. Could someone who has a Facebook account and some knowledge of Google Docs and XPath look into this and see what I'm doing wrong.</p> <p>Thanks. I really appreciate it. </p>
