Web source for inflation and fx

Hi there

I am trying to find a good web site source for inflation and FX, that I can connect directly to Power BI. I have tried the web of the World Bank where they have all this data al global level, but is not connecting to the tables  from these websites:

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG

Does anyone has another soure for inflatoin and FX easy to connect from Power BI?

Thanks very much,

mfc

Hi , @mfc 

I suspect this is because the website will only load part of the data in the beginning. When you continue to pull down the table, the website will continue to send queries to the background to load the rest data.

When you use  "connect to web", the data storage mode is  import .

Since it is so, it will be a better choice to download the data in excel  and import it into powerbi.
