Select column from a table with Google Chrome
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.
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.
Here's another one (mine): copytables.
Allows you to select columns, rows and arbitrary areas in a table and copy in different formats.
