    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
