How do I import data from a web table into Google Sheets?

Question

Hey guys I’m having trouble to scrap data from an HTML table and to populate a google sheet.

I’ve created line item based on the presence of the </td></tr><tr><td> between the different line. And now all I have to do is to split the data of each cell using </td><td> as separator.

So here is the data I input

Now I have two solutions

If I put the value “ALL (as Line_items)” I get this output.

Wich Is good but I can’t use it to populate my google sheet.

Or I use “All (as Separate Fields)”

And now I get this output

Which I can use to populate my google sheet, but I’m loosing the data from column 2 to 9, and I don’t understand why.

Any idea how to fix this, or to easily scrap data from an HTML table?

Hey,Thank you for your answer, I think I found what caused the problem.I didn’t check all the list and thought Zapier would class the output numericaly.And when I checked, I understood that the order wasn’t the one I thought it was.

Hi @RigawelPerhaps try replacing the HTML Tags with a value to split by later.e.g. replace with a pipe |Then you can remove any HTML tags with another Formatter step.Formatter > Text > ReplaceFormatter > Text > Remove HTML TagsFormatter > Text > SplitAnother option is to use a Code step to parse the data points.
