Looking for ways to speed up my workflow and I found Google sheets "importHTML".
I've got it working with the website where I get most of my data from, but as the data gets added each day, there's a new webpage for this data.
The URL doesn't change much, its just part after the "Key=" (2021Nov06%2CVIC%2CFlemington)

=IMPORTHTML("Racing Australia | Horse Racing Results","table","3")

I've got a couple of drop down lists with all the data I need. These are cells M4 to M8
(M4: 2021
M5: Nov
M6: 06
M7: Vic
M8: Flemington)

The biggest problem I can see is the equals in the string.

Is there a way to do it?

I've shared the file

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Is this what you're attempting to do? May or may not work in sheets, you shared your file as read only so I couldn't test it on there.
