How to delete HTML from spreadsheet ?

[Will]

someone has given me a spread sheet that has HTML in it...

It was a web page table... and created by right clicking on the web page and
choosing view source... then saving the notepad file as an xls file.

I want to get rid of all the html so we just have the table data saved as a
normal spreadsheet.

thanks for any help

You can import tables from webpages using data>import external data>new web
query
using notepad is not a good way to go
If the table you have looks ok can't you just select the table and copy to
a new sheet?

Not sure exactly what they are wanting to do, but if you copy something
containing html, you can 'paste special'/'text' to leave only the data.
