Left out a couple steps that you may not figure out on your own.

After you paste the URL in the address box, hit "Go"

Select the data table by clicking on the yellow arrow.

Then Import.

Copy your url into a1 of the sheet where you want the query. Run this macro.
Then record a refresh for future use.

Sub createquery()
myurl = Range("a1")

Application.CutCopyMode = False
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="URL;" & myurl & ".shtml" _
, Destination:=Range("A3"))

.WebSelectionType = xlSpecifiedTables
.WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingNone
.WebTables = """Table1"",""Table2"""
.WebPreFormattedTextToColumns = True
.WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne = True
.WebSingleBlockTextImport = False
.WebDisableDateRecognition = False
.WebDisableRedirections = False
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
ActiveSheet.Columns.AutoFit
End Sub
