Assistance requested writing macro to prepare data for pivot table. THANK YOU!

[REvans81]

Hello!

Every week, I get a report on student grades for tests/projects on different dates. The report that's generated exports to excel but it's not the easiest to work with. I'd like to make a macro to convert this data to a different format (Like student names in rows, classes in columns, total scores in the cells) but the classes and size of the data set is going to vary. Ultimately, I'd like to make a pivot table with the converted data.

sample report:

[TABLE="class: cms_table_grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Student Name
[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Date[/TD]
[TD]Class[/TD]
[TD]Score Type[/TD]

Ideally, the macro would copy the data to a new sheet in the following format

[TABLE="width: 500"]

The only items I really care about are the names, class, and score (I don't need sponsor, dates, average, or score type).

I haven't had any formal training and I'm not very good at starting visual basic projects but I can usually tinker with the code after it's written in order to tweak it a bit.

If anyone is able to assist, I'd appreciate it!!!

Ignore the extra boxes around some items.... I can't edit the post
