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 🤲🏻.
Great video! I have M.O. 365 but it is not available yet...
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 😥
@@jpeca13 I got the same prompt message "Document" too
Does this feature for insider first and then be published ?
been watching your videos for a bit now but this is one of the best ones. love the real world example!
Thank you, Lella. You're my new hero!
Yes Yes Yes -- I am so excited with this and without even thinking I can change the way I record data.
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.
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!
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!
Valuable, thanks again Ms.Leila
Super useful, thank you!
Leila, you have non idea how much I respect you for being so professional and smart! thank you very much for you content.
Thank you so much, Leila.❤
I've no words to say thank you. Very much significant topic discussed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice approach to web scraping!
Wonderful. We will soon do scrapping in Excel with Power Query web scrapping like what we can already do with Power BI.
Fantastic the data type was awesome
Lucky to be the 1st to be here. Let me relax and learn.
i really like the way you say "pattern"
Thank you for this nice video 📹 👍
wouuuuuuuuuuuuu .... awesome ... muchas gracias !!!
Bohat Alla. Excellent 👍
Super as usual
Nice trick! And same with cubefonctions for pivot table
Excellent Leila!
Thank you! 😃
Thank you Leila.
Hallo Leila, prosit 🎉2024 und vielen Dank für die Informationen im Video - speziell die Datentypen sind genial ! Viele Grüße nach 2351
Great content Leila ❤
Thank you!
anoter fire video thank you so much I actually follwed a long this time :)
Thank you. Excellent video 📹
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for another awesome video. Does it work on OneDrive? Does it bypass secured website like Dropbox or Google Drive?
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.
Thank you for sharing !!
My pleasure!
Very useful.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Very powerful ❤
This is awesome thank you 😄
I'm glad you like it
Thanks Leila! Can you use this if you need to login to website first?
I amin love with your videos
Apparently I did not have my excel updated to do it there. However, it worked perfectly in PBI. Thank you for the video.
Upto the so high skilled... So much cool👍
You are SO GOOD at what you do!!
Thanks!
Excellent💯💯💯💯
Awesome 👍❤
Great job, do that have way to solve if the website need to login user id and password in excel?
beauty and smart💙
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!
Glad it was helpful!
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.
Excellent madam
Cool! Can we also do the same for invoices in in sheet 1 of different excel files?
thank you for your video. Can we add pager by this method?
hat 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.
Great job Leila as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for another great video ❤ and inspiration insight to use your own catalog of courses. 🎉
Perfect, actually you helped me as I have been facing an issue with power automate while I extracted from Web
Wow, the trick to format links and images is SO VALUABLE, I'd say more then getting daya from web. Thank you Leila!
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?
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!
Game changer
thanks
This is crazy!
Very cool. Such a bummer that this is NOT a thing for Excel on Mac. At least I have not found it.
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,
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?
This is fantastic. Thanks! Is there a way to do something similar for a pdf document?
Sure is :) ruclips.net/video/p2304BjvrB8/видео.html
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
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing
I am accountant
and we work with Excel and SalesForce App
So, How can I connect Excel with reports from Salesforce?
Thanks
Thank you!
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.
top!
Dear ma'am i wanted your (excel to advance course). BCZ your teaching method is so good please ma'am guide me
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
Thank you very much for this. Can this be applied to scap information from a PDF document into excel?
Power Query has a PDF connector. Use t to extract info from a PDF file.
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?
Could you please make your courses available in Udemy like before?
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 RUclips but could not find much videos around it. Missing ur videos on the same. Would be thankful if u can help on this.
How would you deal with web page access being password protected?
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! 😅
@leila, where can I see an example for RUclips Chanel and play list ?
Hi Leila, Can you teach us how to make Attendance tracker , Productivity tracker on Google Sheets >
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?
I have the same thing, maybe they removed it from the navigator.?
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.
Please consider creating a similar video for scraping data from IMDB into Excel.
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
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?
Thanks, but for me it currently available only in Power BI, need to wait some time for latest Excel))
Hallo ! Ms Laila, Greetings
I need to search update status of export container tracking on msc website one by one, can u solve it in power query to get results directly in Excel without going to website?
Can this be done on Google Sheets too?
Does it work with quiz webpages like Kahoot, quizizz, genially etc I mean, can we scran students' answers?
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.
I have an up-to-date Excel with a Microsoft 365 (Family) subscription, but my Excel does not support either Web.BrowserContents, nor Html.Table in power query. What else do I need to be able to use these?
Hi, I have office 365 enterprise but when I put your link in the get data from web following along with your tutorial i dont get suggested tables at all. Is it a version thing?
Might I know if this can also capture info only appear after clicking ‘Read more’?
Hey, this works for example to scrape thousands of reviews from trustpilot for example?
Does this system have a way through authentication? Username and passwords?
If the site you wanna scrape has a password, like a bank, is that possible somehow with this method or do I need to do someting else?
Can you please start automation series
With use of
Excel
Power automated
PDF
Hello Leila. Did Microsoft have a solution to run VBA script via web browser? I asked because we have a lot of Exel files witch we need migrate to Sharepoint and i did not know exacly what to do. Maybe you can reccomend me some solution?
Excellent presentation of this functionality, unfortunately I don't seem to have it in office 365 is it on general release yet ?
Yes but it depends on your update schedule (monthly vs semi-annual).
@@LeilaGharani Thank You I appreciate you taking the time to answer, I look forward to getting the update and giving this a try.
BRILLIANT!!!
Now, if only there were a way to have Excel queries periodically refresh without me having to go and open the workbook. Then I could use them as the data source & calc engine.
Definitely! Check out Power Automate for that. To get you started: ruclips.net/video/SUsik0FGzI0/видео.html
@@LeilaGharani Thank you!
