The Tables View

Displays the HTML tables found in the current page.

The tables view displays in the datasheet, the HTML tables of three rows or more, found in the current page. The minimum number of rows required for tables to be extracted can be altered in the preferences (Tools>Preferences>Advanced Tab).

In case of merged cells in the HTML code, using row or column spans, the cells are kept separate in the view datasheet and the values will be repeated in the corresponding cells. Tables of less than tree rows are ignored.

If a link is found for a table row, it will be stored in the URL column of the datasheet. If several links are found, only the first will be kept. The first two columns of the datasheet contain the following information:

Note: The Source URL column is hidden by default. Use the column picker at the top right corner to show/hide them. When a row is moved to the Catch, the Source URL is always included in the moved data, even if the column is hidden in the view datasheet. All other hidden columns are ignored in the transfer.

Bottom Panel Options

In general, as for the other views, the content of this view can be filtered and sorted to extract specific data, using the filter controls and right-click functions in the datasheet. You can also move it to the Catch (or export it to a file).
