Discover the ease of importing data from websites directly into Excel. Our tutorial demonstrates how to use Excel's 'Get and Transform' feature (aka Power Query) to seamlessly connect, transform, and load web data for analysis.
⬇️ DOWNLOAD the workbook here: pages.xelplus.com/web-query-file
✨ Key Highlights:
▪️ Simple & Dynamic Data Import: Learn how to import various types of data, such as petroleum spot prices and weather forecasts, in a few clicks.
▪️ Data Refresh with a Click: Experience the convenience of refreshing imported data with just a click, ensuring you always have the latest information.
▪️ Practical Examples: Follow two real-world examples to understand how to dynamically link Excel to web data sources for continuous updates.
▪️ Transforming Data in Excel: Discover how to clean and adjust data within Excel using Power Query, including filling down empty cells and adding emojis for enhanced visualization.
▪️ Auto-Refresh Options: Explore how to set your Excel file to automatically refresh data at regular intervals or when the file is opened.
Getting data from a web page has never been easier. Just Open Excel, go to the "Data" tab and click on "From Web". Enter the web address of the external page you'd like to import. Power Query opens and tries to find the html tables on that web page. Select the correct table and transform your data. This step gives you the ability to customize your output. You can for example, fill in the blanks by automatically copying down the top values. You can remove the columns you don't need and clean up the data. Once done, you can view the data in an Excel table, as an Excel Pivot Table or create a connection to the query.
Note: Importing web data with Power Query this way requires the tables on the web pages to be in HTML format - otherwise they're not recognized in the Navigator view.

Best part of the video is when you said; "it is just part of Excel"! That seems to be our main job as Excel Trainers, to convince Excel users that Power Query is the greatest Excel Invention since the PivotTable : )

Very well said Mike! The name power query does scare people away just like pivot tables. If pivot tables were called one-click-reports I think more people would be using it... that‘s probably why Microsoft renamed power query to „get and transform“ when they put it in the data tab.

I find it's really inflexible like all external lookups, even to other excel files. I had lots and lots of trouble editing an existing query, for example. Ended up creating a whole new query from scratch, instead.

@@borstenpinsel You should probably check out some videos on it. It's very straight forward to use. More so with the intellisense that comes in the latest versions. When just using 2016, I do find I have to google the correct formula syntax due to lack of assistance, but that's probably a good way to learn too. Make sure you read the formula bar each time you create a step to get an understanding of the formula syntax and how you might tweak it for your queries.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS! yes, I am shouting from the rooftops about your wonderful teaching skills!
Leila, you are amazing! Thank you for open to us this precious jewel
More amazing Excel majic described by Leila. What a wonderful world.
Nice. I learned something new. I also wanted to applaud you for giving credit for the work you borrowed from someone else. So many KZreadrs just steal and claim content as their own
Hi Leila. My name is Julio and I live in Brazil. I'm studying a lot about Excel. I need to give my career a boost and I believe that Excel will help me a lot. I love your channel and the way you teach. Congratulations.
Amazing.... I was given such task before which I couldn't... You just made my day Thank you Leila
Thanks so much for your videos, Leila. They have been so timely and have enabled me to make so much progress with my project.
Now that was 'Transformational' !! Great tutorial
Wow. This is a very sophisticated reporting format. Thanks for teaching these kind of useful things...
Great video. Quick and clean. Thanks!
Really appreciate your teachings.
Thank you, that was really useful. it will definitely save me a lot of time!
Amazing, Thankyou for sharing your knowledge and explaining so well.
While carefully reviewing all your videos (after discovering your amazing channel), I realize about this functionality. So,... I only can say to you, Thank You Very Much. Based on it I got a bunch of ideas that will make me progress in my complex reporting. I often say that if EXCEL would suddenly disappear, the whole world would have a deep impact at all levels. In the same way, I want to say that your video courses, your teaching skills, and advice make the world get a bit better. Faithfully Yours.
