Is there a way to click on anchor link - vba

Question

Please help me as the anchor tag looks like the below
<a title ="excel" class="activelink"style="Text-Decoration: none; onclick="$find('ReportViewerControl').exportReport('Excelopenxml');" href ="javascript:void(0)" alt="Excel" _selected="true"> Excel</a>
This doesn't have any document id or class.. Any help would be highly appreciated.

I try to check your HTML code and found that it contains the class but it can be possible that many other elements on the page using the same class. If you try to access the link using that class then it can possible that you click the incorrect element on the page.
We can see that the link contains the ' Excel' text. We can try to loop through all the links on the page and try to match the innerHTML to find that specific link.
Example:
'Below is code to loop through anchor tags, find the specific link, and click it.
Set elems = IE.document.getElementsByTagName("a")
For Each elem In elems
If (elem.innerHTML) = " Excel" Then
elem.Click
Exit For
End If
Next elem
Output:
In a similar way, you can also match other attributes from the anchor tag that may also help to click the link.
Note: This code example is for clicking the specific link on a page. It may not help you to automate the file download.
Further, you can try to modify the code example as per your own requirements.
