This sounds like a job for Python's Pandas library, which can parse HTML

I'd be happy to try that out if you can e-mail a copy of the html file that
you downloaded, the one with html and javascript noise.
Robert,
I can handle .html, but the only way to get html is by saving. Here's an
example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";><head id="head1">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<style type="text/css">
table.withBorders {
border-width: 0 0 1px 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table.withBorders tr {
border-width: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
table.withBorders th {
border-width: 1px 1px 0 0;
border-style: solid;
margin: 0;
padding: 2px;
}
table.withBorders td {
border-width: 1px 1px 0 0;
border-style: solid;
margin: 0;
...
I cannot download the data table in any format that has all rows and all
columns.
When I can I'll be able to read them into R as tibbles.
