    You can try the following steps to import webpage data into the workbook:

    1.Open Word application and paste the URL which you want to query, save this document as .txt Plain Text, use MS-DOS coding.

    2.Locate the txt file which we just created, right click on it > Get Info.

    3.Under File Name & Extension, change the extension name from "txt" to "iqy".

    4.Open Excel, on the top ribbon, click on Data > Get External Data > Run Web Query. And select the iqy file > OK.

    I don't have a "Get external Data" ribbon (see photo from before)

    This is the easiest way to do the task?

    There is no from web option when using a Mac?
