**Short answer:** Sorry, No. There is no <b>easy</b> way.
**Long answer:** While there are easy ways to convert structured html tables to xls or csv (see for example: <a href="http://www.convertcsv.com/html-table-to-csv.htm">HTML Table to CSV/Excel Converter</a>), but the irregular and multi-level header in your table along with the multiple instances of <code>colspan</code> and <code>rowspan</code>, subvert the logical relationships and predictability in the table.
**Tip/Suggestion:**
With a few alterations to the structure of your table, it can easily be:
1. more machine readable, and thus easier to export and manipulate;
2. more human-readable, including <b>more accessible</b> to users using assistive technology.
Specifically:
- Use a list, rather than table cells for listing the cities
- Nix any use of <code>colspan</code> and <code>rowspan</code> on the other cells
- Delete the multi-level table header. The top row housing <i>"Place desc"</i> <code>colspan</code> is definitely redundant, and ultimately unnecessary.
