Issue when refreshing from the Service using Get Data from web using " Add table from examples"
HI MattG,
Power query itself not contain any web browser plug-in. I think these functions only works on power bi desktop site, because desktop contains mini web browser to preview.(so you can get data from specific html elements)
In addition, this error message shows 'unknown' functions, it also means these functions have not released to power bi service.

Hi MattG,
AFAIK, this feature need to manually choose which type of elements as table contents from preview web browser, I don't think these features works on power bi service side.
In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you to use web.connector to get data, it works both desktop and service side.

Hi @Xiaoxin
Do you mean Web.Contents? Won't this require a table on the website to connect this way?
