Parameters within a Web Query?

So, what happened to the paramaeters with web queries functionality?  

When executing a web query, it USED to be that we could specify the query in brackets within the URL.  Now, however, an XML query from a web page results in a query editor where the query - and it used to be an .iqy file / connection - is essentially manipulated, but no parameter can be added or specified.

What the hell??  Anyone?

  • Hi Max,

     

    You still may use "old style" connectors. In File->Options->Data enable under section Show legacy data import wizards.

     

    To initiate connection use Data -> Get data - Legacy wizards (not From Web icon in Ribbon).
