    Having trouble copying data from a website into Excel

    I am trying to copy the data table from this website http://stats.nba.com/draftCombineSpo...owsPerPage=100 into my excel document. However it keeps pasting it incorrectly into the cells and I end up with something like this Untitled1.jpg

    Does anyone know how I can paste this so it appears in excel like it is setup on the website?

    Thanks!

    Are you copypasting or using an external data connection to grab the table?

    Here is a small portion of the Copy, Paste. I deleted rows of extraneous data in the first few rows.

    I saw your picture but I couldn't replicate it. A straight copy and paste worked fine.

    Did you by chance select more than what was in the chart? I made sure that I only selected the chart contents.
