Downloading Financial Statement Data

There has been a change to the way financial data is downloaded into Excel spreadsheets. The data is now in a table and is harder to work with. I have to convert the table to a range first. Also, another issue that has been around for a long time is that the data is exported as text, not number format. So, e.g., if you try to sum a row it doesn't work - the data has to be converted to numbers before things like sums will work. It would be nice not to have to do that.

Thanks.
