importing live stocks data without using API or complex dax

Hi

I would like to know how can I import stocks prices live in power BI. I was thinking if I can use Get Data from Web and then use Power Query to clean data and then Load it to Power BI to create different visuals. I am looking for simple solutions (no 3rd party software or API or complex DAX). Is that possible? Thank you very much.

Hi @lastnn30 ,

 

According to your description, doing data cleanup in power query is one of the options. But for powerbi, it provides more of a data visualization display function.
My suggestion is that you can use the data cleaning software to clean the data, and then connect to this data source in powerbi, or if you want to get real-time data, you can choose direct query mode to connect to the data source instead of import mode.

The following link is a good guide.

If the problem is still not resolved, please point it out and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.
