Help team! I need to find a way to copy the information on a website database to an Excel spreadsheet. It's probably really simple for some of you!

Hey there!

So without getting into too much detail, here's my problem:

I have to take every approved entry from this website: http://eapr.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/CertDetails.aspx
Then paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. I need only 'Declared Articles' from each category (aplliance connectors, etc), and then only a few subfieds in them:
-Name
-Certificate Number
-Model Number
-Expiry Date
-Article Class
-Description (Including volts, amps, watts and hertz if included)
-Volts
-Amps (If applicable)
-Watts (If applicable)
-Hertz (If applicable)

At the moment I'm literally copying each entry manually. I can't request a spreadsheet from them, and as you'll see from the website, it's extremely difficult to get these thousands of entries manually. The individual certificates cannot be opened in a new tab, let alone copied efficiently.

So my question to you: is there a way I can create some sort of macro to take the details from the page? What avenues can I take to get there?

Please note that the Department of Fair Trading is aware of and allows these ventures.

Thanks in advance for your time!
