Hello. I heard that there is an ability to pull website data into google sheets, specifically using an import function =IMPORTHTML(website addres). However I'm having trouble trying to get it to work. I basically want to pull the data from the following website: The YC Startup Directory | Y Combinator

Essentially, I'm trying to get just the basics on an excel sheet that shows me the Company Name, City Location, State Location, Country, and Description. So using the first few results below, I would like to make it so that the columns and sheets shows the following:

Column AColumn BColumn CColumn DColumn E
Row 1DoorDashSan FranciscoCAUSARestaurant delivery
Row 2Ginkgo BioworksBostonMARemoteOur mission is to make biology easier to engineer
Row 3AmplitudeSan FranciscoCAUSADigital Analytics Platform

Any advice on how to do this? Thank you!

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
