This was obtained by using the Chrome Screen Scrape extension. The reason it is static is I wanted a column where tutors could make comments and a dynamic import would screw this up.

Google Sheets doesn’t have a importJSON formula. I’d use Yahoo Pipes to get a csv (see http://mashe.hawksey.info/2013/03/lak13-recipes-in-capturing-and-analyzing-data-google-groups-dashboard-using-yahoo-pipes-no-code/ for some tips). The other option is Google Apps Script but this requires a basic level of coding skills

Are you about to share the csv source and I might be able to show you a workaround?

I have a table in a URL that has 1500 rows.

Only 80 are displayed on the 1st page and the table runs over 18 web pages. How do I download this all in one query instead of querying each page?

link is : http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/srch-edgar?text=filing-date%3D%28200803*%29+and+form-type%3D%28sc+13d*%29&first=2008&last=2008

thx
