    Hi nigelreilly,

     

    Please have a look at this blog sharing technique that will allow you to scrap tables from web pages, by navigating the web page elements in the Query Editor.

      Thanks for the quick response. I know how to connect to web pages and extract the data but for some reason PowerBi cannot find the table I am interested in. With the update to the web connector feature I tried again, typing the values but it could not find the table still. It may not be possible.
