Hello @utgqw 

 

I don't get the point here. I think there are used two different functions. Web.Page(Web.Contents) and Web.BrowserContent(Html.table). But anyway, the result should be the same. Or what exactly is your issue where you are blocked?

Hello @utgqw 

 

be aware that when you choose Web in Excel and Power BI that they are using two different functions... Web.BrowserContent is not available in Excel - at least in older version. So if you need that the are showing the same, go for Web.Contents and Web.Page
