Select column from a table with Google Chrome

Solution 1:

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but this might help someone in the future. I wrote a Chrome extension called ColumnCopy which accomplishes this task.

Solution 2:

Another hack - copy the whole table from Chrome to Excel then copy the column. I use this to grab the stock ticker column from a stock screen.

Works using LibreOffice Calc as well.

Solution 3:

Here's another one (mine): copytables.

Allows you to select columns, rows and arbitrary areas in a table and copy in different formats.

Solution 4:

Here's a very hacky and somewhat inconvenient workaround: you can use the "Transpose Tables" bookmarklet located on this website to transpose the rows and columns of the tables on the page, and then select the appropriate row. Certainly not ideal, but it's the best thing I was able to find.
