Find data source and connection type

‎06-27-2022 02:32 PM

Hey guys, been wondering if I could get some help here.
I'm trying bring to my dashboard some information about commodites future prices and the past data as well, for creating a historical data series and current prediction. These references are easy to find in web (CME Group, Investing News etc) but I just can't find a way to connect them. Do you have any idea if I could do this (and how)?

PS: also would appreciate some indications of material about all the connection tools in Power BI

Thanks for your time!

Hi @gdoss ,

 

Power BI provide a connector to get data from webpage named Web.Contents(). You can follow the tutorial to do that.
