New From Web May 18 feature not working
Hi,
When I am trying to experiment with creating a custom table using the new feature with
http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/
There are numerous tables on the page, but not in the correct format.
The from Example option on the Navigator is not available either. Does that only become available if there are no tables on the webpage. Ideally it shoulod be available even if there are tables on the page?
Hi Anonymous,
With the New from Web experience feature, we can extract all sorts of data from Web pages, including data found in tables and other non-table data. See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-connect-to-web-by-example
I have tested with your web URL, when we select ant table, the option " Extract table using examples" is available, and we can also type sampled data to retrieve left values.
I would suggest you follow the article mentioned above to test again.
Best Regards,
