Getting data from a web page has never been easier. Just Open Excel, go to the "Data" tab and click on "From Web". Enter the web address of the external page you'd like to import. Power Query opens and tries to find the html tables on that web page. Select the correct table and transform your data. This step gives you the ability to customize your output. You can for example, fill in the blanks by automatically copying down the top values. You can remove the columns you don't need and clean up the data. Once done, you can view the data in an Excel table, as an Excel Pivot Table or create a connection to the query. Note: Importing web data with Power Query this way requires the tables on the web pages to be in HTML format - otherwise they're not recognized in the Navigator view. 00:00 How to Import Data from Websites to Excel 01:15 Importing Crude Oil Spot Prices to Excel 04:59 Getting the Latest Weather Data into Excel 07:25 Bonus - Using Emojis in Power Query ______ Check out _______ Frédéric Le Guen's blog post on adding emojis to your reports: https://www.excel-exercise.com/add-emojis-to-your-charts-formulas/ Oz's video - Emojis, Excel, Power Query & Dynamic Arrays: https://youtu.be/c-tnA1zfrzs Check out the Power Query Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmHVyfmcRKyyKV86N7i0q9TfYNN8bBjX- ➡️ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJtUOos_MwJa_Ewii-R3cJA/join 👕☕ Get the Official XelPlus MERCH: https://xelplus.creator-spring.com/ 🎓 Not sure which of my Excel courses fits best for you?
