    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?

    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!

    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, 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.
