For example lets take imdb(movie rating) website -I have an excel sheet with 10K movie name in column A
I copy a name from sheet-
Search it in url (http://www.imdb.com/) in search box.-
Copy the result(rating / actors) & paste in the sheet at column B,C,D
Is there a way I can automate this process.
Note:the URL I have to use requires login id/password.

Excel can connect to web pages to get data. This can be utilized in your code with VBA, external .qry file, or using the 'get external data' interface. Check this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa203721(v=office.11).aspx

I have a range of documents that are shared with a team of collaborators in a google drive folder.
Is it possible to view statistics on when and by whom a document was accessed?
Specifically I am interested in a Google Docs document but I believe this should also apply to Sheets and Slides.
I am aware of the activity feed which shows edit and comment history.
Unfortunately, Google has removed this feature sometime in 2013. You can still see edit history, via which you may know who has viewed them, provided they hace modified the file.
However, if they are simply viewing the document, then there is no possible way to determine the view statistics.
Possible alternative for you: DocSend
Looks as it they are revisiting this idea as part of the G Suite product, but I haven't found a free version of it:

I have a hash of result messages. Each message has 4-5 different parameters. I want to match parameter values with the values stored in an excel sheet. If they match its pass or fail
Can you help me how to read from an excel sheet and match it line by line with my current message in hash.
The best way to read from an Excel file is using a CPAN module, like Spreadsheet::XLSX
If you are using MS Excel 2003 or earlier, you can use - ParseExcel
If you are using excel 2007 or higher (xlsx), then Spreadsheet::XLSX does the job.
If you want something very quick and simple try - Simple Its an easy to use wrapper around ParseExcel.

I have data in the following format:
Variable - Value
A 1
B 2
A 3
B 4
and so on.
Notice how the variable is recurring for different values. I want to draw a line for each variable that shows its different values assuming the X-axis is time.
Please any help.
I would start off by creating a Pivot table based on the data that you have and then create the line graph from there.

I want to create interactive objects that appear in an excel file viewed via share point. I am told I am not able to use VBA. What alternatives can I use? Please note the viewed via share point part.
Many thanks for any help given

None. Excel files displayed via SharePoint are rendered as HTML tables, so no VBA possible.
Open the files in Excel to have interactivity, otherwise Excel is not the right technology.

I have excel sheet with address column. Latitude and Longitude is required for these addresses.
How to fill next column with 'Latitude' and second next column with 'Longitude' ? Is there any helpful tool ? any suggestion ?
I forked and updated a tool that does this very easily: Excel Geocoding Tool
I'm not certain that it can do exactly as you ask but Google Fusion Tables has geocoding capabilities
One or more of the below links may provide an API so that you can geocode in Excel. Otherwise, at least some of the sites support the copying and pasting of such data to get the job done manually:
http://geocoder.us/
http://www.batchgeo.com/
