Default How to import a table on a Web page to Excel?

How to import tables only, not all text? Clicking <Click to select this
table in new WebQuery window imports all text, not only tables.

find the delimiters they are using usually commas or some other signs.
hightlight the data in the first column only
then use data-text to columns and follow the wizard. From your earlier
message it looks the delimiter are spaces
then in the step 2 uncheck all the delimiters and check only <space. then
you will see in the table below that the vertical lines are inserted at
proper places and then you can finish it.

hope you succeed.

Clicking <Click to select this table in the dialog box <new web

query
selects all text on the page, not just the table. There are other

tables
(with columns delimited by spaces)separated by text on this page. I

need
the
other tables too.

under
2 of the dialog box <new web query

The table in the webpage looks as a table, but it is a text with
columns
in
the table delimited by several spaces, not by a htm table tag.
Therefore,
the no. of the table cannot be found out from the source html

page
counting
<table tag, can be? The table is between other text.

fist use < data-getexternal data (importdata) using a

webquery
into
excel
then
data-texttocolumn using space as delimiter

you must know the no. of the table in the webpage which can be

found
out
from the source html page counting
<table tag or by trial and error
