Extracting multiple tabs from single URL
Hi
I am trying to extract all three the data tables under Exposure breakdown from the Following URL
They each have parts decriptors: #tabsSector, #tabsGeography , subtabsCountries, #subtabsRegion
Adding these onto the URL doesnt help. Are there any easy ways to extract all the table values?

Hi Bogle_SA1,
You can try the web connector in Power Query.
1.Open Power Query and navigate to the Data tab.
2.Click on Get Data and select From Web.
3.In the From Web dialog box, enter the URL of the webpage you want to extract data from.
4.Once the webpage loads, you will be presented with a preview of the data available on the page.
5.To extract a specific table, select it from the preview and click on Load1.
6.Repeat steps 3-5 for each table you want to extract.Reference:
Power Query Web connector - Power Query | Microsoft Learn
For more complex data scraping, you can also try this feature: Get webpage data by providing examples.

Hi Stephen
I have been using the "Geta from Web". The Exposure data aren't visible if I just use the URL above. When I use any one of the # parts above I always only get the first table (Sector). I have looked at various solutions online for multiple pages of a table on a webpage. A number of those solutions require changing the URL to allow for multiple. They all are quite complicated for a novice.
