Syntax
IMPORTHTML(url, query, index)
url – The URL of the page to examine, including protocol (e.g. http://).
The value for url must either be enclosed in quotation marks or be a reference to a cell containing the appropriate text.
query – Either “list” or “table” depending on what type of structure contains the desired data.
index – The index, starting at 1, which identifies which table or list as defined in the HTML source should be returned.
The indices for lists and tables are maintained separately, so there may be both a list and a table with index 1 if both types of elements exist on the HTML page.
