I'm trying to import a table from a webpage, but am having problems with formatting. For example, using this webpage and slice of code as an example: www.kenpom.com

Code:
    With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="URL;http://kenpom.com", _
        Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
        .name = "kenpom_1"
        .FieldNames = True
        .RowNumbers = False
        .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .BackgroundQuery = True
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .WebSelectionType = xlAllTables
        .WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingNone
        .WebPreFormattedTextToColumns = True
        .WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne = True
        .WebSingleBlockTextImport = False
        .WebDisableDateRecognition = False
        .WebDisableRedirections = False
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With

If a team's record is, say, 12-20, that will show up as a date (12/20/15), rather than the text '12-20'.

As a general question on importing tables from a webpage - is there a way to import that table to either have no formatting, or to match the existing formatting in the destination location? I know there are other options like xmlHTTP for VBA scraping needs, but can't say I'm comfortable writing those on my own at this point - would like any solution to be adaptable to other things I can do.

Please let me know if you do - thanks.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Try...

Code:
.WebDisableDateRecognition = [COLOR=#ff0000]True[/COLOR]

Hope this helps!
