Hi everyone,

after much trying and search I am have to surrender and ask for help once more. I need to import data from a html file to excel. I have tried opening the file in excel and the web query, both methods work fine but the issue is the following: excel opens the file but recognises only two columns and displays the data in the two columns. What I need on the other hand is to delete the first row, and then use the first column to create column heaters and then fill in the data from column two below the appropriate column heaters.

Now my import looks like this

HD TEXT
WC TEXT
PD TEXT
SN TEXT
SC TEXT
LA TEXT
CY TEXT

HD TEXT
WC TEXT
PD TEXT
SN TEXT
LP TEXT
TD TEXT
RE TEXT

The spreadsheet after import should look something like this:

HD WC PD SN SC LA CY LP+TD RE PUB AN
TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT etc
TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT etc
TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT etc

So basically I need to find all the unique column headers in and then fill the content corresponding to these heaters in the row below. I something like this at all possible?

I have also attached the html file for reference.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Kind regards,
HtmlKook
