As someone from Arizona, I can say we definitely love chocolate here. Also, don't let kids sell boxes of chocolate, as they tend to eat more than they sell.
Great video!! Super cool tricks!!✌ For this particular case we can also use Data Types. For example: In H2 we write USA, with H2 selected, go to: Data tab, Data Types, Geography, select first result from side pane In I2: =H2.Subdivisions In J2: =H2.Subdivisions.Population There are discrepancies though. To visualize the differences, a formula: (Xlookup syntax technique when we deal with data types) =LET(s,pop[State or territory],cp,pop[Census population],cp-XLOOKUP(s,H2.Subdivisions.Name,H2.Subdivisions.Population))
For this specific example, you dont actually need to use scrapping. I forget the function name but you can classify cells, one common classification is geography. Type in the state, a drop down box appears to indicate the state. New york state, usa for example. Then you can use other cells to reference the geographical cell to list characteristics like population, total area, area by land, area by water, all differnt types of discriptors pertaining to new york state. So generate all 50 states, create the columns of criteria you want, do all the referencing for the to row. Then just drop down to fill the other 49
Thank you for your video. May I ask if you can do video that automate data entry to chrome browser? Excel data to chrome browers like that without Third Party App? Thank you so much for your videos
Hi Chandoo while i tried to scrape data from the website using power query the website first leads to Disclaimer (accept or reject), please guide how to skip it?
Hi Chandoo, thanks for so great video and sharing your knowledge. I was wondering about your webpage though. I was wondering if you close the registering option or have you left aside that part of your business. I love the way you explain Excel and Data Analysis so thank you very much for doing it possible. Cheers
Dear @@chandoo_. Thanks for your quick response, I really appreciate you are very considerate. At the moment I am in an awkward position, that is because I was recently a brain surgery. Thank God it went well But one of the things i have to life is that I quite slow in learning, that is because the lack of practice, high demand of energy needed to focus in a subject and my current financial situation. That makes me believe that this is not the appropriate time to participate in one of your courses, that I will have to wait a little more. My idea in subscribing to your website is to remain in contact with you and try to follow your steps. Also think that because the lack of a way to see a proper layout or organization in the videos people post in you tube, maybe registering in your website would give me the chance to see the videos in a more organized way. I do have a bachelor in CS and lot's of excel experience but because my sickness I am literary starting from 0 (not winning, I won't be the first nor the last to be in this kind of situation). But through my career it has been the projects in which I have used excel as UI and to create reports for the middle and upper management or creating interfaces with MSSQL, ADO-CSV, MYSQL, ACCESS, ... that I had the most fun and the ones in which I can see a quick problem modeling and solution response for the client. I would love to know where to find your email, as you suggested. I have been fan of your work since a long time, years BTW but for me things have been bumpy, so I really don't remember since when I have been following you in FB. Thanks again for everything I will be watching your videos, I just found you " How I made $100k as Excel Freelancer" , which is mostly the path I want to follow. Cheers.
If the data will change for example author of the page will add more information on that webpage my question is :- our data will be updated automatically inside Excel or no ?
It should be as long as the underlying structure of the webpage is maintained (ie they used the same CSS class or table ID or something that you used in PQ).
I want to import data from a website site that says "your browser is not up to date". I use Office 2016 and I can import data from other websites. Even if I change the web browser option, I still can't import data and receive the same error messega. How can I fix the problem with the website I mentioned above. Thanks and regards.
Hi Chandoo, Thanks for the informative video once again. I have one question that how do big organization deal with their data for data visualization or daily analysis. Do they use any specific tools to scrap the data from their database. They are autogenerated or one person has to do it every day manually?
Normally big organizations have dedicated data teams which in-turn have ETL teams that do the data extraction, cleanup, automation and storage processes. They are also called Data Engineers. While these folks take care of 70% of data needs, the other 30% will fall on to the individuals/ departments for their specific needs. This is why learning a bit of Power Query, SQL, data clean-up techniques can help you in many aspects of professional life.
I need help!! I have one application which we normally used for filling information of working employees & that application generate UNIQUE ID. 2 Step :- I have to audit those case but at the same time wanna check multiple UNIQUE ID cases with different Name via excel using filtering data. So tell me how should i audit multiple data for UNIQUE ID.!!
Hi, Chandoo thanks for the incredible video, I just had a problem when I click the Data tab>Get Data> From Web.. what I saw is different from yours. Mine shows "NEW WEB QUERY and a bunch of script errors with the question box "Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

Hello sir I have a serious questions That is from which playlist i have to start and which step by step playlist I have to follow? From ur all playlist
Hi Musafir, Thanks for your question. I suggest using the FREE Excel course playlist.

If you want a step-by-step course without any distractions or ads, just join my Excel School program. Visit chandoo.org/wp/excel-school-program/
I just started following your channel to level up my excel skills. But I am not sure where to begin with, as there are huge number of videos on your channel. Can you share some tips or videos from your channel?

Hi, I have small doubt, I want to get to data analytics and ultimately after couple of years want to be a data scientist. Is this possible or am I planning wrong!! please help me out provide some information thank you
You can certainly do that. I suggest talking to data scientists in your network to get an idea of the kind of work they do and start picking up the skills slowly.
Not sure of a quick way to do this but you could: 1. Use text to column with space set as the delimiter to create a row of cells, each containing one word 2. Cut and transpose paste the cells 3. Remove duplicates 4. Concatenate the cells using TEXTJOIN with space as the delimiter
Whenever I change the name of the table in PowerQuery when the data changes and I go to Refresh an error appears stating that the table with the name I created was not found in the source. 😐
Refer to the error message. Power Query doesn't like name changes for underlying tables or columns. You can redesign your data clean-up steps so that they don't depend on the names. But you must learn a bit more M language to make it smooth. See this video for more on Power Query - ruclips.net/video/PiFAa_jjaEI/видео.html
That is a good alternative too. As data types are less widely available than Power Query, I chose the later option. Plus, it aligns with the sponsor for the video too. 😀

I'm sick of seeing the exact same example on every one of these Excel web scraping videos. It's ALWAYS "Here's how to scrape this table from Wikipedia into your worksheet", it's never how to scrape a single data point from a webpage such as a dynamically changing number or name etc that can be identified with an isolated XPath...
Why not search a bit more or better still, build one yourself? How are you sick of free help and guidance offered by someone you barely know? Here are few other web scraping videos - ruclips.net/video/VRLxcN_w-rg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/RU9D-CyKwEQ/видео.html
Hi Chandoo .... GREAT video. QUESTION .... I scrape 10,00+ webpages so this will really help. BUT if a URL is embedded in text on a webpage, PQ or BI won't extract the URL eg email address is embedded in the person's name. I've searched and can't find it. Any ideas?
I honestly would have just copied and pasted the table straight from the site bc I'd be concerned that the data wouldn't import correctly. I thought that you were going to point that out as being one of the issues. Is the technology behind it so good that the tables come through just as they are on the screen? What are the benefits of using this over a normal copy/paste?

For this particular case we can also use Data Types.
For example:

How to extract table data into excel from web with multiple pages ...please make a video on it ...thank u in advance 😁
Good idea. Do you have any examples of such websites? Often multi-page sites block PQ based access in my experience.
@@chandoo_ How about writing in multiple URLs in an Excel table and creating a function in PQ to scrape them!
Yes. we can do that. If the URL has a pagenum parameter, we can also parameterize it with PQ functions.
Very helpful video Chandoo G
How come when I put in the URL from other websites the tables don't pop up but they do for wikipedia? Any suggestions?
