Hi Anonymous

What kind of data source do you connect to?

a public web link which don't need any authentication? a sharepoint site link? a Onedrive (for bussniess/personal) link? any else?

Do you write connection string in Advanced editor or use Get data-Web connector?

Could you share more details like connection code in Advanced editor?

In addition, there are some similar threads you could refer to:
