Easily Import Data from Web to Excel (2 Practical Examples)

can you please make a video on getting data from password protected website as it is difficult to login everytime and download data.

How do i import data from a page which asks for user name & password

So satisfying that the video is exactly 10 minutes with 2 parts, and the divide happens exactly at the 5 minute mark. I wonder if the meticulous nature of her videos is intentional and effortless. It really comes off that way. Mind blowing content here.

Thank you Leila! Your video means a lot. I’ve tried to using this feature, but there is a notification “the request was absorted: could not create SSL/TLS secure channel”. Do you know how to overcome this issue? Thank you

Hi Leila!
While trying to load weather data of New York from website into Power Query, the Navigation panel opens and it only fetches something called 'Document' table and not the 'Table 0' table having 10 days' worth of weather info.
I tried in Excel-2016 and Excel-2019. Didn't work. Please help.

Great video. Thanks. Plz make video about how to do data entry feom web to excel for beginners

Hi Leila, I love your videos. They're detailed yet, straightforward and to the point. However, in following the tasks associated with the weather example, I am finding that my Power Query (PQ) is only displaying a "document" under the Display Options; I do not have any tables. I'm wondering if I have a missed setting somewhere in Excel/Chrome. Any thoughts on why PQ did not import a table?

Hi Leila, If I paste a pivot table using the paste link function in an excel file and share it another colleague, can he retrieve the data from the paste link data? I want to make sure that he can't because the data is confidential. Is there a code that he could use to retrieve the data?

If it’s not in a table can it still be exported? I’m looking to make a contact list of all physicians in a certain area that practice in a certain area of medicine. Thanks

How do you do this for websites with no tables? like a website showing products and prices?

Hi Leila !
You are always great and useful well done, i think your advices and short videos actually are better than advices from Microsoft directly ...you are brilliant that's for sure !
A question please if i may : After taking some advices from different sources all of them saying that :
"If you want to extract data from a webiste which require authentication ,you cannot do that unless is a base64 encoded ,while the power query doesn't want to "know " more than this type of authentication ...
Is that right ? if yes do you have any suggestion or can you make a short video to show us ? im sure many people they having the same issue like me ...
I couldnt find any solution on the web for this ,and this could be helpful for many of us!
Thank you and really apreciated

Hi Leila
Thank you for your great effort, you are enlightening us with your knowledge and smooth learning curve.
I have a problem that is related to this video's subject,
It's about getting all rows if the web page has a paginated table. when importing data, I'm only getting the first page data.
I need to have all the row's data.
I've searched about it but couldn't find a simple solution to the problem.
I'll be more than grateful if you can help me soon.
Thank you in advance and have a good day.

Hi Leila, I opened my workbook a different day, and I’m trying to refresh the “Petroleum Spot Prices” data query, to get the latest prices, but it returns an “[expression Error] The column of the table wasn’t found” error. What do you think I should do?

Sorry I'm dragging you back to a video you made two years ago, would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

What if I will extract on the website and I need to complete the form there first before I could extract is there an automation in power query to do that

Leila... No one knows the answer. A table has people's names in a column. The persons email is embedded in the name

Hi,
I am encountering some issues while importing data from a web API URL to Excel and sharing the file with clients. Specifically, I have the following concerns:

The client needs to establish a connection to fetch data for the first time.
During the connection setup, the API URL is being exposed.

Hi, When I share an Excel file that consumes data from a web API using the "From Web" technique, the file's data source is removed, and it stops working properly when sent to other users.

Ma'am ❤
