Statistical office (Destatis) connect webservice
Hi Imperium1
In Power BI, the Web data source type is used for importing a table of data from a Web page. You can take a look at this article: Tutorial: Importing and analyzing data from a Web Page using Power BI Desktop.
If the web page doesn't contain any table data, you only retrieve element data in Query Editor. I would suggest you use XML data source instead of Web URL to retrieve data.
Hi Dina Ye,
thank you very much for your help 🙂 The link was very interesting ...
The webpage I would like to get data from is:
These are values from the statistical office in Germany showing ship transport prices ...
On the page there is a table and I tried to load it into Power BI (as also described in your link). Unfortunately the table is not loaded:
Any idea what went wrong?
Thanks again,
IMP

Hi Imperium1 ,
I have managed to get data from Destatis via API into Power Query by usind parts of this code;

as well as try and error und reading the GENESIS Webmanual.
Did you find also a solution so far? If yes I would be highly interested because mine is only 80% of what I need.
