Not excel, LibreOffice Calc. I can send you a copy of the sheet if you tell me where to send it. It's pretty simple. It should work OK in excel, though. I opened Calc, added a sheet or two, and went to the last sheet, top menu  sheet > link to external data, and give it Whattomine's ASIC url:
(https://whattomine.com/asic?utf8=%E2%9C%93&factor%5Bsha256_hr%5D=14000.0&factor%5Bsha256_p%5D=1370.0&scryptf=true&factor%5Bscrypt_hash_rate%5D=500.0&factor%5Bscrypt_power%5D=800.0&factor%5Bx11_hr%5D=15000.0&factor%5Bx11_p%5D=1200.0&factor%5Bqk_hr%5D=450.0&factor%5Bqk_p%5D=75.0&factor%5Bqb_hr%5D=450.0&factor%5Bqb_p%5D=84.0&factor%5Bcost%5D=0.1&sort=Profitability24&volume=0&revenue=24h&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=abucoins&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=bitfinex&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=bittrex&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=bleutrade&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=cryptopia&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=hitbtc&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=poloniex&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=yobit&dataset=&commit=Calculate)

then select html_1 for the ASIC table. If you're interested in SHA, or other algorithm, you can go to that page, and use that url instead. There are 3 different types of tables. if you select 'all', it'll bog-down your app when it refreshes from updating so many fields. It works pretty well so far. I've checked it against WhatToMine for several days and it works. It's easy to get the sheet corrupted though, and not update the fields. I use LO Calc to keep track of the pools, addresses, and coins, receive addresses, the profits, etc.  It's pretty handy if you don't have Awesome Miner. I'd like to use it to profit-switch. You can capture the current top coin name, pull the url from a table and pass it all to SSH I guess -- I'm giving it a try anyway. It'd have to be easier than doing all that coding, plus, you have the added functionality of tracking the pools, etc. 

So, I guess I'm screwed on those Linx Coins from zpool? The txid's

don't show up in https://chainz.cryptoid.info/linx/.  So, is this a common occurrence in mining pools? Can I get those coins back somehow?
