Using ImportXML to import a table in google sheets

Question

I am trying to import the table of values found at this link

I have used this formula:

=importxml("https://web.archive.org/web/20180108121529/https://transportation.triboard.ca/Cancellations.aspx",
"//td [style="padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;vertical-align:top]")")

But I get a formula parse error.

Can anyone point out where I am going wrong?

Answer 1

How about this modification? In this modification, https://web.archive.org/web/20180108121529/https://transportation.triboard.ca/Cancellations.aspx is put in a cell "A1".

Modification points:

• Enclose padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;vertical-align:top by the single quote.
• Remove one ") .

Modified formula:

=IMPORTXML(A1,"//td[@style='padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;vertical-align:top']")

Another pattern:

As an another pattern, how about this formula? This also retrieves the table. But the format is different from above one.

=IMPORTXML(A1,"//tr[./td[@style='padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;vertical-align:top']]")

If I misunderstand your question, I apologize.
