Reviews & Comments of Copytables chrome extension

I think almost function is wonderfull, But sometime I face big issue: when I select some cell or row and using Command + C to copy and paste some where but sometime it copy all the table, althought I do not select the table; I using on Mac; Please help me why Thanks

I use it a lot on mac. Saved soo much time. Yhank you!

Surely, the author must realise that this add-on doesn't work at all? I've been trying it relentlessly with different tables, making sure the tables are actually proper tables, not divs - and it just does absolutely nothing. Completely useless.

This was preventing me from clicking between tabs in Google Sheets, and instead gave me the metrics of how many of the tabs I had selected. Same thing for the formatting buttons - it would tell me all about which buttons I had clicked or highlighted, but would not let me click them.

Gives option to copy cells, but it wasn't working for me. Will copy 2 columns at same time. :-)

I use this extension for work a lot. It's pretty amazing

Markdown format !! please !!

I needed it to select full tables in Confluence CQL results, and it worked flawlessly - even gives you stats on the content. Bravo!

In Jun/2022, still Simple and Practice! Perfect!

Works very if the HTML is well-formed. Doesn't work at all with malformed HTML, such as a missing TD tag, Also includes a few nice features such as show the sum and average of the selected table column.

Just installed 30 seconds ago and it works beautifully. Thank you!!

first try on wikipedia and works perfectly thanks

I've been using it for 3 years every day. It seriously is the most powerful tool possible when it comes to working with information on web pages. Can't be grateful enough to the developer. God bless.

Works! Similar features as in Firefox.

I can't believe I didn't find this extension earlier, but in any case, I have it now and it's SO USEFUL! No longer do I have to copy an entire table and then to clean up the data in an intermediate app like a text editor or spreadsheet.

Trying this again after a complete failure a few months ago, also failing now, I tried this on 4 different tables, it simply doesn't work! The only thing I can get it to do is copy a single table column and I use a different and easier to use extension for that. Of course the almost complete lack of instructions doesn't help any, but for example ALT plus click cell selects the column (the animation confirms this) not what the little there is information says it should select the cell.

This is a terrific extension, I use it almost every day. I install it on every computer. Great work!

I use it all the time. Moving data into places like Confluence, MS Teams, Jira, etc has been made so much easier! Are there fringe cases where it does not work? Of course there is. HTML can be very complex (and poorly written), so parsing it will never be 100% for a simple extension. Keeping your expectations to "reasonable", this is a great tool and I would recommend it to everyone.

Очень не хватало этой штатной возможности Mozilla Firefox.

Hi! I can't seem to send you an email. I was having an issue, I can't highlight a table on Amazon Seller Central. When I tried other sites and copy a table, it is working. But with Amazon, it doesn't. Please help. It was set to all sites also.

Very useful, especially for delayed-JS loaded table data. One Addition - Extracting link urls with text would be super handy too. i.e. <td><a href>text</></> -> "text (href)". Instead of the current -> "text". ?

Doesn't work.

Works well and intuitively. I had to refresh the browser for it to take effect.

Super helpful! Saved a lot of time for me on sites like Wikipedia

sangat membantu pekerjaan, very useful for work

Almost there. It does a great job at selecting columns, rows, cells and tables, almost as well as Firefox does natively. However, it's a little confusing to initiate the selection process. It would be great if you could enable the selection just by holding down Alt or Ctrl or Shift then clicking, without needing a character key to follow it. Many of these combinations are already in use by the system, which can cause conflicts or confusion. In my mind, Ctrl+c would select either a cell or a column, but this is also the (Windows) command to copy, so I can't use that. Using the Alt key is the default global Windows behavior for selecting menus, and using Shift is standard when typing uppercase characters. This leaves only the option of clicking the extension icon, then selecting the desired action, then clicking in the table... which is way better than having no functionality, but is still a bit tedious when doing a lot of copying and pasting. Still, overall the extension is the best I've seen so far for mimicking Firefox's abilities to select HTML table contents. Update: I have also noticed that it copies the browser tab name when copying tables. While some might find this useful, I have to remove it every time I paste the data. It would be nice to be able to turn this "feature" off and simply copy the table as-is.

Just came back here to give it 5 stars after realising I've been using this extension so much. I love it!

One of those little tiny add-ins that simplify standard operations which ordinarily are not implemented in the standard functionality of Chrome, take too much time and drive you crazy.

Tried but Didn't work, selection of table works but export to excel does not

Saved me a lot of time

I've used a lot of different plugins and tools to get web tables into Google Sheets or Excel. This is far and away the best one I've used. It perfectly selects inline tables, captures tables that are built client-side, and seems to do pretty well with table-like content that isn't technically an HTML table. The ability to capture as formatted or un-formatted content as well as "un-pivoting" is also extremely useful to save some extra clicks. Wow.

Exceptionally useful for extracting tabulated data from a web page, particularly helpful when this functionality does not exist within the website.

Before starting please check the manual first. it is so simple and easy. Definitely works!

Not sure, the extension appear and let me select copy format but when i paste, i get nothing. :S

Did not work in any way.

excellent. thanks.

Stellar

very cool

works and useful

Seems to work fine, THANK YOU!

Excellent

Doesn't Work

doesn't work well with youtube, while using this plugin the youtube's fullscreen doesn't work, disable it will works fine, please check and fix if possible

great extension

The infobox option breaks the extension on my system. It might be a conflict with another extension, but it's not important to me, so I'm not worried about it.

This is a very very useful tool. Thanks for the great work.

Great extension. Thanks for fixing the infobox bug in 5.5

saya sangat suka, app ini sangat membantu pekerjaan saya..

Awesome app, so useful

Just WOW! I didn't know that it was possible to capture only columns instead of a whole table. I was always grabbing all the data and then deleting everything I didn't need. This tool saves a lot of time and lets you select exactly what you need. And the InfoBox! Boom! Developer nailed it with this one. Glad I found out this amazing tool. BIG THANKS!

Works very well, but breaks my Google Apps compose email window. I turn it on when I need it, then turn it off again.

So useful for snagging data!

I had some issues with the last update but Georg was able to resolve them. Currently using Vivaldi as my browser and this extension saves me time on a regular basis at work.

Very handy

This is probably the most helpful Chrome Extension I have. I spend my day in online tables. Moving data between them, Excel, and Google Sheets. That used to be a grueling process. CopyTables makes it a breeze. I hope Google buys your extension and makes it part of Chrome!

Was a 5-star extension, last update made it unusable. Right after installing the latest update,it became extremely slow to scroll up and down the page when selecting cells. Is there a way to roll back to the previous version? EDIT: Issue fixed the same day, thanks for being so responsive.

Does its job very well. I would also request that it displayed a SUM and/or AVERAGE of a selected column of numbers if and when it can. Then it would be a killer since I wouldn't even have to paste the numbers into a spreadsheet every time.

didn't work for me.

What an excellent and easy to use tool, thank you!

I appreciate the multiple ways Copytables will output a copied table. I use this everyday. Works well for me on Windows 10. Thanks!

this works with simple table, but doesn't work with any smarter table

Wow, works a treat! Thanks

BEST the only problem there's no clear indidication how to use it u have to select with alt

Very useful extension, this functionality is built into Firefox.

Works on most pages I've tried. Question - What would be the best pairing with this extension to quickly get a SUM (or other basic math function) of selected numbers? Or Row Count if text. Thanks

Doesn't work on any web page, works only with extremely basic html and even them difficult to use, the Alt vs Ctrl key activation is pathetic, does not work as advertised, out of 67 web pages I was able to scrape an email inbox table. Maybe they have an issue in this release, I am on Chrome Win 7,

When using Ubuntu, pressing alt causes you to drag the window around, making this extension unusable. This isn't entire;y the dev's fault, but there's also no option to change the modifier key. Please add one!

Instant 5 stars. GJ!

it is a good exnention to have a tool to select the columns or cells in the table, but it could be better, if it will allow us to multiple select on whole page not only in tables

This is the best and most valuable addin for extracting table from the web. Not only does it copy html table but also tables that are generated by java in webpages!!! Thank you! Thank you!

It changed my (work) life. Get it.

Installed. Works as expected!

Many thanks to the author!

AMAZING!! Just like in firefox

Tried other tools to select columns before on our Intranet, none ever worked correctly. This one does the trick nicely and saves me a ton of time.

A must-have chrome extension. Many thanks to the author!

works perfectly

I wonder why I didn't know this before!
