  1. Hey everyone! I only recently found out about Alfred, and it was only a matter of days before I purchased the powerpack. GREAT little app that has already made my life so much easier, and I'm hoping to continue expanding upon my [pretty basic but helpful] workflows! As it stands, I work online, and part of my job involves cataloguing IP addresses for record-keeping, and my process has general been: Visit an IP Address tracking website to get my own IP Copy the given IP address Paste the given IP address in the search bar of the specific excel sheet used for work If no results come up [meaning it's a new IP address], I register the IP address to a new account designated by a new row in the spreadsheet If a result comes up, then I continue using the IP with it's previously designated account. Thanks to this great community, I've already found and tinkered with a workflow that grabs your external IP address from within Alfred itself through a keyword and copies it to your clipboard. I'm now trying to expand upon that and have it instantly search that particular excel file [which is always open anyways] instantly from Alfred. Just in case I"ve been hard to follow, I'm hoping to design a workflow that: Retrieves your external IP address Sends the result as a search query to a specific excel document It seems simple enough, yet I just can't seem to do it >_< [and I'm sure it's probably something super simple that I'm just not doing right] If possible, I'd love to go even further and have Alfred report the particular Row that the result was already contained in [basically returning as a notification the contents of the box containing the account name with the IP], but this is a feature I'm fine with passing up, I'm mostly just trying to get the whole "query for IP, send to search within Excel" bit down. Any and all help would be HIGHLY appreciated!
