Parsing repetitive tables

Hi.

 

Hi have some semi formatted data in excel. 

 

Basically they are repetitive tables for data items. There are some headers and footers around the data.

 

For each H[x]a I want to read what is listed in H6-8 in columns C0-3. At the moment I am doing this in python. But, I am trying to convert all/most of my python data parsing to Alteryx.

 

I also thought I was going to be able to find something on the forum, but, apart from scraping html tables, I didnt find anything that I could apply. My thinking was that reading this semi-structured data would have some "recipes".

Many thanks Seb! I will test it. I might have some further questions as I am an absolute beginner. I think that these recipes help my introduction into Alteryx.
