Getting Data into Excel

Data can be moved into Excel and then all of the capabilities of Excel can be used to modify and format the data. Since Excel is stored in a similar format as webpages, often highlighting and copying data from a web source will allow you to easily paste that information into a spreadsheet. There are some ways to also bring data into a spreadsheet when the usual copy-paste does not result in appropriate columns and rows.

With data like this, there is often a need to manipulate the text data to make the format appropriate. Those functions are found here, on the Text Functions page.
