Currency code not found on xe.com data source

Hi,

I have an xe.com connection ( https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=GBP ) established a few months ago and I already built some measures on it using the rate of the currency exchange. All of a sudden, this error comes up and the 'Currency Code' column seems nowhere to be found from the source:

When I try to reestablish the web connection using the link above (https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=GBP which worked in the past), this shows up :

My question is:

1. How can I fix it? Does this happen because xe.com might have changed the names of the table columns or simply restricted its access to users?

2. How can I find all calculations I created using 'Currency code' (which doen't load anymore) in my fields so that I delete them because now my whole report doesn't refresh anymore and I am stuck.

Thank you very much !

HI @oanam,

In fact, the web connector not suitable to directly get data from the web page. The current web page effects and its data table are formatted based on the front/backend script and functions. (Power bi only get the HTML elements instead of getting data tables)

For this scenario, I'd like to suggest you contact the website support for the backend REST API that used to get data from the data source. Then you can use a web connector to get data from these APIs.
