I am following the guide:
Get started with Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Where they mention:
"In the From Web dialog box, paste the address https://www.bankrate.com/retirement/best-and-worst-states-for-retirement/ into the URL field, and select OK."
Then they add:
"The query functionality of Power BI Desktop goes to work and contacts the web resource. The Navigator window returns what it found on the web page, in this case an HTML table called Ranking of best and worst states for retirement, and five other suggested tables. You're interested in the HTML table, so select it to see a preview."
I am suppose to see:

How is itpossible that the official tutorial is wrong? Or am I missing something?
This is very demotivating for a new user...
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous Well, the dangers of basing your tutorial on a website that you don't control. It's likely that something has changed on that website that is preventing Power BI from picking it up as a table. I'll report the issue in the Issues forum. That tutorial has been around a long time and likely the documentation needs updated.
Hi,
the problem is still existing, how can the module be left unattended for more than 30 months. This is what I see as of today. How do we proceed with the tutorial in that case @Greg_Deckler can you help please
@ibniecivon 30 months, ha! That's nothing. Microsoft doesn't fix stuff for literal decades with this product. Decades. Don't expect them to fix it. When I use that URL I get an HTML table called Table 1. Not sure why you are not seeing that.
