To create an Excel sheet that can load a table from a web page, you can use the "Power Query" feature in Excel. Power Query allows you to connect to web data sources and import tables into Excel. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:
Open Excel: Open Microsoft Excel on your computer.
Create a New Workbook: Create a new workbook if you don't already have one in progress.
Go to the "Data" Tab: Click on the "Data" tab in the Excel ribbon at the top of the window.
Get Data from Web: In the "Get & Transform Data" group, select "Get Data" and then choose "From Web." This will open the "From Web" dialog box.
Enter the Web Page URL: In the "From Web" dialog box, enter the URL of the web page that contains the table you want to import. Make sure to use the full URL, including the "http://" or "https://" prefix.
Click "OK": After entering the URL, click the "OK" button. Excel will connect to the web page and attempt to identify tables on the page.
Select the Table: Excel will display a navigator pane that shows the tables it found on the web page. Select the table you want to import by clicking https://onegoodhandyman.co.uk/service/electrical/ it. You can preview the data by clicking the "Preview" button.
Load the Data: Once you've selected the table you want, click the "Load" button. This will import the table into your Excel sheet.
Data Refresh (Optional): By default, Excel creates a connection to the web page, and the imported data is not static. It can be refreshed to get the latest data from the web page. You can refresh the data by right-clicking on the imported table and selecting "Refresh."
Formatting (Optional): You may need to format the imported table to match your requirements. You can use Excel's formatting and data manipulation features to do this.
Save Your Workbook: Make sure to save your Excel workbook to keep the imported data.
