Thank you for valuable information @LeilaGharani. Your great grandfather Veysel Gharani probably would be proud you careying on of the continuous legacy of contribution your last name does for to society. Sorry for off topic, once again thank you for your contribution 🤲🏻.
Interesting tool. However, I have Office 365 Version 2311 Build 16.0.17029.20028, 64-bit, but I can not reproduce your example. After providing the link to Get & Transform Data > From Web, I got only the option to see "Document" - no tables, etc. and no button Add Table Using Example 😥
I'm only halfway through the video and I have to pause to comment that THIS IS SO COOL!!! You are basically building your table by picking the data directly from the webpage like a pick your own orchard!! How brilliant is that!? Thank you so much, Leila!
Well done Leila. nice web scraping techniques. But you do not need to transform to datatypes. If you add a column to the table result in Excel and type =HYPERLINK(....etc) then this formula is always updated. You do have a "double" column but you can hide the PQ one in Excel. It is dynamic!
Hello Leila, congratulations on your didactics and saving me from a last-minute demand. I shared it with colleagues and we are all coming up with fantastic applications lol.
That create data type, seems like a really cool way to help hide and expand/rollup data from a table. Despite my best effort some people are still scared of pivot tables.

AWESOME! I've been aware of the Web Scraping and Data Types, but putting them together to be able to get a CLICKABLE LINIK is a trick I hadn't thought of! Great tutorial on how to use the Web Scraping tool without the Data Type trick. THANK YOU!
Hi Leila - you do always very interesting videos - Could it be done on the LinkedIn site on Saved Post?? Should be great to be able to do!! Thanks so much
This looks great, but what version of excel is needed for the "Get Data From Web" function? The option does not seem to exist on the online 365 version. There are so many product options now - any idea which one/s has the feature? We have: 1. Microsoft 365 personal 2. Microsoft 365 business basic 3. 365 business standard 4. 365 business premium 5. Office Home 2024 6. Office 2024
Hi Leila Thanks for yet another great piece of content. I have an issue in that I do not have the "Add table using example" button that you mention at 4:43. Any ideas?
Many thanks for your videos which are very helpful. Can you please explain 2 things: 1: how to include login information and 2: how to get information from a page pointed to by one of the links on the previous page? Thank you.
If the data is split over paginated sites (and the URL of each pagibated page inckudes "page=1" , "page=2" and etc., is there a way to use power query to collect the data from each of those pages other than by creating a separate table for each page (which would also not be ideal since the number of paginated pages fluctuates). If not, what would you advise as the next best solution? Power automate?
Yes, you can do this - you have to implement code into the power query that tells Excel to first paginate your URL, then create tables with those links. I have the code for this, but it's too long to post here. LMK if you are still looking for it.
Great video! And how can we web scrape when there are multiple pages, not only one? By the way, this feature of creating a table by example is not showing to me in 365
Hi Leila, great video and wonderful content! Just one question - what should we do when the list and data is in more than one webpage? looking for your solution! 😅
Could you please make a video with the best tool to scrape e commerce web sites? They seem to be all to complex for this solution. I saw a few with power automate but this is as well very complex. Thank you for your great work :)
This is pretty good. I usually use a Chrome extension but it's not as versatile as this technique. What do you do when there are multiple pages with the content structures the same way?
I have the same question regarding multiple pages of similar data. If this is just page 1 of 888… with only 10 lines of data displayed per page… can Power Query manage that?
@@luzaanvanwyk1977 Some time ago we did Power Query thet fetch number of pages and then processed all of them within a cycle. It was not easy, took some time but it definitelly can be done.
Hi Leila, thank you for this great video first! On my company laptop I get following message, when I try to create a connection with a webpage: "Internet Explorer is in compatibility mode, etc" With other words: I'm not able to see the content of the webpage for further adjustments. Any work around for this issue? Best,
Thank you for your content miss! I worked at Accenture as a Data Analyst, but I was robbed and my hand was broken, which caused me to be fired from my job. My hand is better now, but i'm not receiving job offers, so I'm taking the opportunity to qualify a little bit more and learn some tools like that and web scraping with python too.
And what if this menu item "Structure columns" is grayed out and there is no option to select it? Is there any other way to perform the described actions? And even more, in Excel 2024 there is no "Add by Example" option(((
Firstly, it's very inspiring to watch your videos. Secondly it's very frustrating to know that I can't use them for several months while I wait for my company to update to and Excel version that contains the new functionality. Would be great if you had a table on your webpage that showed which build versions of Excel contained the new functions. And absolutely fantastic if the table had a link to to the youtube video telling how to use the functionality. Keep up your absolutely fantastic work.
I love this! I am working through it now and have a question. When I get to the step where I click the button "add table using examples" , the website appears over my column headers, so i am unable to type in them. Is there a way to keep the webpage from taking up so much real estate in that step? Thank you in advance!
Thanks, glad you love it! It sounds like Excel might be overlapping with the column headers. Try these steps: Resize the Window: Adjust the size of the Excel window or zoom out (Ctrl + - on Windows or Command + - on Mac) to make more room for the headers. Freeze Panes: If the webpage content is scrolling over your headers, use Freeze Panes (View > Freeze Panes) to lock the headers in place. Minimize the Website: If you're working with a website in the background, try minimizing or resizing that window to give Excel more space to display the headers. By the way, I also offer Python web scraping services if you ever need help extracting data directly from websites into Excel or other formats!
Hi Leila, when I load the URL into excel as you describe from your video @ 2:43. Only 1 table is in the drop down menu. I was hoping to see different links that are visible on the official website but nothing.
Leila, missing ur more videos on power automate. Can u make more videos on this like data extraction from invoice table of a pdf invoice and then paste in excel. I tried searching on TH-cam but could not find much videos around it. Missing ur videos on the same. Would be thankful if u can help on this.
Loved this video. I have been trying in vain for some time to do what you did for my purchased courses on Udemy, the Great Courses, Audible, and Kindle books. Every time I paste the url in, I get the message "Unable to connect: "Access to the resource is forbidden." Any way around that? I am assume each of those entities don't allow the connection?
Hi nice videos, very helpful. Is it possible to do this vise versa? Like to send from excel to a wordpress website? Also is it possible with power automate to make changes to an article for example?
Leila, you are really crease. I am just wondering how could you create such an amazing video.!! It is really super cool. I lvoe you soooooooooooooooooooo much. muaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
hi thanks for the sharing but it doesn't work for me on excel 365. No tables suggested, only document proposed. I tried the same process in Power Bi and it works. The tables suggested displays and the option button too.
What if after copy/pasting the URL, there are no tables identified? How can I scrape and look for the information that I need? I hope this gets noticed. Thanks Leila!❤
Does this ping the server for the image each time you open the excel file OR refresh the data connection OR not load if you are connected to the internet? I ask because I don't want to unnecessarily keep requesting the same image from a server if I don't have to. I would think it would save the file temporarily to your local machine as a cached image. If that is not the case I just wanted to ask.
Hi Leila! I'm trying to grab data from grocery stores online, but some websites require a security check (i.e., "I'm not a robot" checkbox) in the Web View, which prevents Excel from pulling the information from the webpage. Do you know a fix for this?
Leila I have a webpage with my students' progress on their online hwk. I've been trying to extract data to excel but it only extracts the sign in page to the website. Is there a way to sign in inside this Excel process?
leila, Im using excel 365 ,after pasting the urls I go to navigator pop up page but under the suggested tables there's no adding table using example option

Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes Yes Yes -- I am so excited with this and without even thinking I can change the way I record data.
A fabulous video that has been of great help in orienting our new collaborators. Your generosity is highly valued!
Our pleasure. Glad the content is helpful!
Thank you, Lella. You're my new hero!
Thank you for another awesome video. Does it work on OneDrive? Does it bypass secured website like Dropbox or Google Drive?
This lesson was unique on the net. Thank you
Lucky to be the 1st to be here. Let me relax and learn.
Wonderful. We will soon do scrapping in Excel with Power Query web scrapping like what we can already do with Power BI.
How would you deal with web page access being password protected?
Bravissima come sempre! then is it possible to view the images easily in power bi? or is there a need for some external application? thanks very much
Great content Leila ❤
