Get Data not showing from Web source
Hi Becca94 ,
Agree with lbendlin,
It appears to be a change in the architecture of this site. The data tables in the page are rendered in JS and embedded in iframe, you can see the html code of the page embedded in the iframe on the page:
But Power Query's Web.BrowserContents (which is the same as web connector you are using in Power BI now) can't get to this data in this type.
So that tutorial you are learning from should be outdated, if you just need to learn how to get data from the web, replace it with a viable site. If you definitely need to get data from that site, maybe you can try to use a python crawler, or try to get its corresponding API that doesn't require a token (but that's difficult).
Best Regards,
Dino Tao

Super UserThat lesson plan was probably generated a long time ago. Web sites change their design frequently. The table is now reachable via this DOM tag:

lbendlin How do you access it tho.
I tried using Html.Table with selector of "table" and there's no actual element when you get the page and inspect the code within power query.
