Converting div table to normal table

Question

I was put on this project and the other developer before me used a bunch of divs to create a table. I was put in charge of exporting these tables to Excel. The only problem is that these aren't normal HTML tables. They are a bunch of divs made to look like a table.

Is there a way to convert the div table look alike to a normal HTML table? Or could I still export this look alike table to excel?

Here's a quick example

<div>
    <div class="row">
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
    </div>
    <div class="row">
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
    </div>
    <div class="row">
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
    </div>
</div>

You could use JavaScript to create a table, loop through all the .row and .column elements in the div to popultate it, remove the div and append the table. Here's something I threw together very quickly to get you started. (I commented out the line that removes the div so you can see both in the results).

var body=document.body,
    parent=body.querySelector(".table"),
    rows=parent.querySelectorAll(".row"),
    table=document.createElement("table"),
    tbody=document.createElement("tbody"),
    row=document.createElement("tr"),
    cell=document.createElement("td"),
    x=rows.length,
    cells=rows[0].querySelectorAll(".column"),
    y=cells.length,
    i,j;
table.appendChild(tbody)
for(i=0;i<x;i++){
    row=row.cloneNode(0);
    cells=rows[i].querySelectorAll(".column");
    y=cells.length;
    for(j=0;j<y;j++){
        cell=cell.cloneNode(0);
        cell.innerHTML=cells[j].innerHTML;
        row.appendChild(cell);
    }
    tbody.appendChild(row);
}
body.appendChild(table);
//body.removeChild(parent);

table{
    color:#f00;
}
.table{display:table;}
.row{display:table-row;}
.column{display:table-cell;}

<div class="table">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
    </div>
    <div class="row">
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
    </div>
    <div class="row">
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
        <div class="column">Info</div>
    </div>
</div>
