fabianhenzler power bi web connector will return back table when on the webpage it is defined as HTML table ie making use of th, tr etc tags. Otherwise it just returns document that is hard to scroll through to find data. Use below URL and it will return table and then check page source.

Hi ankitpatira

thanks for the help :)

I found out that the root cause is that Power BI uses an non-modern aka old Browser to do that, which is not supported by most of the WebData Sources I use.

Any Idea what I can do about that?
