Hi, i saw this advertised by an old instructor for an excel class, his youtube channel is "excelisfun" and he does a great job. I was trying to find the right video to answer my question but didn't know what to look for but have tried index and vlookup with no avail yet so i thought i might give it a shot to ask here to be pointed to the right direction.

My situation:
I download construction bid listings from a public online website to tab 1 "input" using "external data from web" from 199 different links/companies. Each one has from 0-20 bids that are all hyperlinked with format (date @ time) (bid info) and i want to filter everything by dates in the future. There are about 450 listed projects at one time but 50 of them are actually in the future. How do i filter everything without destroying the external data from web format and still keep the links to the projects?

here is an example of the website source: Andersen Construction Co. - Seattle - Projects Bidding

This is my current proceedure:
Tab 1 "Import": Import data externally
Tab 2 "Export": Copy & Paste and Text to column to get rid of @ symbol and timestamp but leave date only in the date format
Tab 3 "Report 1": Pivot Table and filter based on dates in the future
Tab 4 "Report 2": This is what i would like to have happen, automatically copy only the info that is not blank and filter based on dates in the future (we rarely bid on past projects). I manually copied one over so that i could show what it would look like. Any solution would be great, even if i use 1 or 2 tabs.

Below is the link on googledrive, feel free to download it. It should still be in excel 2007 format and not in google docs format.

Here are the snapshots below to get a quick idea:
