Interesting way to do web scrapes! Just grabbing the desired column solved your problem. Going to try that. Some questions on your methods. How did you get your "Inspect" web pages to come up? I am using Chrome and I see a totally different Inspection window. Yours looks much more helpful. Do you have a more basic video on how to inspect and look at the structure of a web page? My Inspect is just not too helpful. Also, I am trying to web scrape some financial info, and when I use IMPORTHTML or IMPORTXML, it is really slow and puts up a "Loading..." message for a while (some times Seconds or Minutes, sometimes it does not finish loading). This also happens when doing IMPORTRANGE calls from other spreadsheets (but I am not sure if these 2 problems are related or not). There is a definite performance problem with these IMPORT commands. Is this common? Could it be that the IMPORTHTML command is trying to download some tables that are very big? My performance issue even occurs even downloading a 3 row-2 column table from the web. Any ideas or thoughts that I could try? Thanks.

Do all websites allow this? On inspecting the website I want to get info from I can see the table I want, but when inputting the formal into Google sheets it can't be found? Wondering if some websites block this functionality?

I hope you find this useful.
