Hello, I am trying to link external information from a url to my Excel spreadsheet, but for whatever reason the "Get data from Web" option is not showing up on my menu. Does anyone have any idea ...

  sferrero As mentioned in one of the previous posts, "Get data from the Web" is part of Power Query and is NOT supported by Excel for the Mac. So you may stop looking for it. If you want to get full Power Query functionality on a Mac, you need to set up a virtual Windows PC on it, via Parallels or Bootcamp, and run Excel from there.
