#1 - It mainly depends on how the Webpage is setup. Take the example of https://www.msn.com/en-us:

The page doesn't consist of any Table but an HTML doc. where a nested [Children] Table exists. However, the latter consists of nested tables that consist of nested tables... Almost mission impossible to find what you want...

 

#2 - Does your version of Excel has Power Query function Pdf.Tables?
