    Import Data from Web

    I wish to import data from Web and I have tried
    Data\Get Data\From Other Sources\From Web

    enter Basic URL...

    I am able to see the Web View but nothing in Table View (only Document in left column)

    How do get around, please help.

    Thank you.

    Re: Import Data from Web

    What's the URL you are trying to scrape, and what does your required output look like?
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...

    There are lots of different approaches you may take to this, depending on how the source web page is structured. Without a specific example, it's impossible to advise.
