'Get Data' from the Web

Hi,

So I have been trying to source my data from a website. However, after putting in the URL, no Tabled data shows up (even though there is one appearing on the website).
The only table that appears is: 'Element','HTML', 'Table', 'Null'.

The website I am trying to make a connection with is the following:

Thanks,

Akash

I dont believe the Website URL posted in the initial post:

RE: 'Get Data' from the Web

Hi Akash,

Thank you for the forum question.

I have tried to connect to the website. The site does not include a table of data. It is a list of links. The links may be organised in a table but the links are not text or numbers but code.

Unfortunately Power Bi cannot convert HTML link code into data.

Kind regards

Power BI tip:

Implement Row-Level Security (RLS)

If your reports contain sensitive information, implement Row-Level Security to control access to data at the row level. RLS allows you to define rules that restrict data access based on user roles, ensuring that each user sees only the relevant data according to their permissions.
