How to use web link from Kaggle to extract a .csv file using Web extractor?
- 5 years ago
You have a few ways of doing this (as far as I'm aware) you can retrieve the download using something like a PHP/python script and extract the .csv to a location where you can subsequently have powerBI look for it. This I think is the only way other than downloading it yourself or by searching for a stream of data. I do see that he in Kaggle references to a source, from which he retrieves and edits the data. Perhaps looking at the source gives you a link that you can in fact use in powerBI
Alternatively, I managed to use Google Docs source directly which is present in the same webpage.
Thanks,

Do test to see if this works after publishing your report, I do believe that this only works when logged into google docs. Im not convinced this will work after publishing.
