Hello community,
I am trying to extract data from a .html file using PQ. The file is not structured as a table which means I have to go looking in different <div> containers. I am experiencing having to drill into 15+ tables before maybe reaching relevant data.
Does anyone have some tips on how to do this? Drilling to 'end' or searching inside the containers? I am kind of out of ideas
Solved! Go to Solution.
Turns out using PQ for Excel was a bad idea in this case - I have now switched to PQ for PBI and am having no issues unpacking this.

Hi @Anonymous ,
Could you please use the Html.Table function to get table data? Could you please share your example code?
Best Regards,
Winniz
I have tried this out but am unsure how to apply it.
Consider this table
Caption | Source | Data |
Element | HTML | Table |
If I do Html.Table([Data]) I get an Expression.Error saying 'Html.Table' wasn't recognized.
Am I going about this correctly?
Thank you for your reply I will test this out later and (hopefully) come back to mark as a solution
