    Importing data from internet

    I used to import data from a page on CBSsportsline.com. It was a page that included a roster of people. When I would go to import the data, the page had tons of those little arrows that would turn into checkmarks when you would select which data to import.

    When I go there now, there is one checkmark at the very top of the page and that is it. When I click and import that, all the data on the page imports, which is super messy. I just want the list of names to import but theres no checkmark for it anymore.

    Is this a website problem or is there something I can do within excel? I'm using 2007.

    Thanks for any help.

    It's an address you would need my username and password for. However, you could go to the following address and see what I am talking about. In this example, I am trying to import Top 25 college basketball rankings but there isn't an arrow for me for just the rankings anymore. I am forced to import the entire page if I want the rankings in excel. I am wondering if, on my end, I am able to make a an arrow appear above the set of information I am interested in importing into excel or if the website themselves took the arrows away. I used to be able to just import the rankings and not the entire page.

    For your example, put this into a standard module
