Default Importing webpage data into Excel

I'm trying to import business addresses from a web page (in typical mailing
label format) into Excel in a typical database (column) format, i.e., name in
column A, Street in column B, etc.

Transpose will only do 1 address at a time, but I have hundreds of addresses.

Got any suggestions?

Hi Dave,

I'm trying to import business addresses from a web page (in typical mailing
label format) into Excel in a typical database (column) format, i.e., name in
column A, Street in column B, etc.

Transpose will only do 1 address at a time, but I have hundreds of addresses.

An couple of offset formulas on another worksheet devised properly would likely
do the trick. Depends on your setup what the formula should look like: how many
rows each full address spans for example (and if the # is the same every time)

Don
Hope this is what you need. Just to give you an idea of what I'm trying, I
choose the Data/Import External Data/Web Query from the menu. A browser opens
up, and the webpage has arrows next to each section of the page and you click
them to choose what to import. When I import, the list ends up in column A,
with repeating addresses.

I also tried the Data/Pivot Table . . menu and was able to transpose the
first address to columns, but couldn't figure out how to do the whole list.
