    Almost there: Loop to search website

    Hello all I am working on a macro that will open a webpage and search it. The macro will loop through a list of values and search the site for specific information. If the information exist on the site then the macro will enter "Y" in the corresponding cell of column F, if the website does not have the information then the macro will enter "N". Also I will need to skip values that have a "Y" in its corresponding row. This is needed because information on the website is updated daily, so this macro will be run periodically to capture the new information. I have a good portion of the code completed and what I have works great. I've tested the loop and it will search 30K+ values with no errors. The would like the array to be adapted to skip the listed values in the array, they don't need to be searched. I need help adding the next operation of the code. The code is below. Any help is greatly appreciated.


    Sub SearchESN()
    Dim I As Long
    Dim IE As Object
    Dim objElement As Object
    Dim objCollection As Object
    
    Dim MyFolder As String
    Dim MyFile As String
    
    Dim MyVals As Variant
    MyVals = Array("*472908*", "*471905*", "*471914*", "*471935*", "*471917*", "*471920*", "*471933*", "*471932*", "*471934*") 'Enter all the values to search for
    
    
       ' Create InternetExplorer Object
    Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
       ' You can uncoment Next line To see form results
    IE.Visible = True
       ' Go to website
    IE.Navigate "url goes here"
       ' Statusbar
    Application.StatusBar = "THIS PAGE is loading. Please wait..."
       ' Wait while IE loading...
       ' Do While IE.Busy
       ' Application.Wait DateAdd("s", 1, Now)
       ' Loop
       ' IE.Visible = True
       ' Clean up
    Set IE = Nothing
    Set objElement = Nothing
    Set objCollection = Nothing
    
    Application.StatusBar = ""
    
    MyFolder = "file location goes here"
       MyFile = Dir(MyFolder & "\*Data Loop.xls")
    
       Workbooks.Open Filename:=MyFolder & "\" & MyFile
    
       MyFile = Dir
    
       Application.Goto Range("A2"), False
    
    Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
    
    For Each esn In Selection
         For I = LBound(MyVals) To UBound(MyVals)
              If esn.Value Like MyVals(I) Then
              esn.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'yellow
         Exit For
         End If
         Next I
         Next esn
    
         ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
    Loop
         Application.Goto Range("A2"), False
    End Sub
