Excel From Web power query defaulting to Web.BrowserContents instead of web.page(web.contents())

My excel used to open 'from web' as web.page(web.contents()) but suddenly is defaulting to Web.BrowserContents instead. Now I cant detect my tables, and only see an HTML script. My old queries how show 'open files as 'html page (legacy)'. 

Is there a setting or something I can do to make sure I can see/detect my tables normally and continue to use web.page(web.contents)) instead of having to manually type it out in 'advanced editor M-code'? 

  • Hi ankhtuja , Could you try this

    • In Power Query Editor, go to File > Options and Settings > Query Options.
    • Under Global > Data Load, ensure Legacy web view is enabled.
      You can also adjust queries in the Advanced Editor to use Web.Page(Web.Contents()).
      If this post helped please do give a kudos and accept this as a solution
      Thanks In Advance
