I'm trying to import some data from IATA's website onto Excel (also tried same in Google Spreadsheet). I tried using XCOPY method, but this page is constantly getting updated and the spreadsheet would eventually give 'N/A' error when new information is updated.

I basically want a spreadsheet to import specific country's data into my sheet's cell(s). I am looking for it to be country-specific.

For example, I only want to import COSTA-RICA's data or CANADA's data from this website as shown below into my spreadsheet,

Following is the spreadsheet link I've uploaded as an example : IATA Restrictions - Updated

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Okay... so I have some success. Thanks to player0

For the whole list:
Code:
=INDEX(TRANSPOSE(IMPORTXML(
 "https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/international-travel-document-news/1580226297.htm",
 "//div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div")),,1)

For country "CANADA":
Code:
=QUERY(QUERY(INDEX(TRANSPOSE(IMPORTXML(
 "https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/international-travel-document-news/1580226297.htm",
"//div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div")),,1), "limit "&
MATCH("CAYMAN ISL.", INDEX(TRANSPOSE(IMPORTXML(
"https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/international-travel-document-news/1580226297.htm",
"//div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div")),,1), 0)-
MATCH("CANADA", INDEX(TRANSPOSE(IMPORTXML(
"https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/international-travel-document-news/1580226297.htm",
"//div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div")),,1), 0)&" offset "&
MATCH("CANADA", INDEX(TRANSPOSE(IMPORTXML(
"https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/international-travel-document-news/1580226297.htm",
 "//div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div")),,1), 0)-1, 0), "where Col1 is not null", 0)

I am able to import data into Excel using Country's name. However, there seems to be slight issue. I'm only able to import country's names which have empty cell above them. Other countries with no empty cell above them give 'N/A' error.

How can I fix this issue?
