How can I retain formatting when using web query?

Viewed 18

I have three questions relating to using web query on MacOS 16.65.

I am using web query to draw in data from the internet and populate into the below sheet. Any formatting changes I make to this data are reverted once I refresh to get the latest external data.

  1. Is is possible to avoid this through use of VBA or otherwise and if so, what code / formula is suggested?

Some of the dates that are brought in from the web are formatted as text and some as dates.

  1. Is it possible to automatically change these text formatted cells to date format upon import?

The cells that are already date formatted are using the US format MM/DD/YYYY and when I am trying to use VLOOKUP to look for dates in the DD/MM/YYYY I get an N/A return or incorrect data.

  1. How can I achieve VLOOKUP finding the correct data?
