    Hi, your video is a great help. Thanks! But I have a tiny problem which I can't resolve. The very last row in the table from the website I'm scrapping from is not useful and has no further children (except the first one). Is there a specific coding to make the loop stop on the second last row so that I won't get an error message (because of the no children)?

    Awesome video, one slight problem, the wikitable has been modified to 7 columns, the code works fine for cell A1 which grabs htmlele.Children(0).textContent (which is a blank header object), when advancing to cell B1, the error: Run-time error '424' Object required occurs. I cant tell if the blank entry for A1 was returned or not, will try this approach with other tables in other web pages to see if I can grab the table contents, thanks...

      By the way. Google sheets, and I think the excel 365 have these baked in web data getting functions. Those CAN be great however, finding a web developer that still puts data into the section is getting fewer and fewer. Need to be able to scrape data from out of a CSS styled table.
      Also for God's sake if/when you do this I think you should also include how to login in to a personal acct of some sort so that people like me can automate reconciling their excel checkbook register and budgeting.
