Hi Anonymous
Download this PBIX file with working solution
Here's the Power Query code
let GetWebPage = (Year) => let Source = Web.BrowserContents("http://planecrashinfo.com/" & Year & "/" & Year & ".htm"), #"Extracted Table From Html" = Html.Table(Source, {{"Column1", "TABLE > * > TR > :nth-child(1)"}, {"Column2", "TABLE > * > TR > :nth-child(2)"}, {"Column3", "TABLE > * > TR > :nth-child(3)"}, {"Column4", "TABLE > * > TR > :nth-child(4)"}}, [RowSelector="TABLE > * > TR"]), #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Extracted Table From Html", [PromoteAllScalars=true]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"Date", type date}, {"Location / Operator", type text}, {"Aircraft Type / Registration", type text}, {"Fatalities", type text}}) in #"Changed Type", Years = {2020 .. 2022}, WebPages = List.Transform(Years, each GetWebPage(Text.From(_))), #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(WebPages, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error), #"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"Date", "Location / Operator", "Aircraft Type / Registration", "Fatalities"}, {"Date", "Location / Operator", "Aircraft Type / Registration", "Fatalities"}) in #"Expanded Column1"To specify which years you want data for, select the Years step, and change the numbers as highlighted in the formula bar. In this example I am getting data for years {2020 .. 2022}
Resulting in this table
