Table Formula: Split/Tranpose One Column Into Multiple Rows and Columns
Ideally, every three rows in the table column should be one row in three columns. The dataset contains roughly 40k rows so a table formula appears to be the correct approach. Would this be the correct route?
Background:
Source file first comes from Web: Download a File. The file returned is html (contains html table) so I saved it to xlsx via File: Rename a file. The html formatting remains in the xlsx. The xlsx output has one column with the data, it gets saved to a table, and it then gets filtered with Tables: Apply formulas to columns. That is the point where one column should split/transpose into one row and three columns. This should take place for every three rows in the starting column.
Current State: Single Data Table Column
Ideal State: Three-Column Table (original html table file rendering)

Based on the w3 tables resource linked below, I will also consider keeping the
<tr>&<table>tag rather than removing it with the filter used with Tables: Apply formulas to columns.https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp
