Need to extract a table from a webpage that has box scores but the box score table doesnt have a name. I would like to count the tables on the page then subtract 4 from the table count which would give me my desired web table.
The webpage can have a table count of 15 today then tomorrow it can have 10. The table count varies depending on games played every day.

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Using the HTML Object Library and maybe IE automation, call getElementsByTagName("TABLE") on the HTML document to get a collection of tables.
