Getting data from online
Hi STL,
In the intermediate training, Jens mentioned that you can update data obtained from a live website. The website posts a file (excel) of their members, would it be possible to link this to a table in excel?
Thanks,
Zach
RE: Getting data from online
Hi Zachary,
Thankyou for your question to the forum.
In order to link your web data to an Excel table so that it always updates, you will need to use Power Query inside Excel itself. Here is a link to a Youtube video that takes you through the steps:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOd5sUf4yzM
The steps in making the connection from Excel may look different in the video to what you see in your version of Excel. If so, go to DATA > GET DATA > FROM OTHER SOURCES > FROM WEB. Then enter the pasted URL and in the next box select 'Anonymous' in the left hand list and then click OK. Follow the rest of the video as normal
Hope this helps
Kind regards
Martin
