Unable to Connect to Web Source With Credentials in Power Query
Hi,
We've been suffering from this problem for months and trying to get MS attention - maybe in the wrong places :-(.
see: https://excel.uservoice.com/forums/304921-excel-for-windows-desktop-application/suggestions/20166799-provide-more-diagnostics-for-the-data-from-web-p
My latest response there shows my frustration and it was only through examination of the user-agent heder that Excel supplied that I found a link to this tech community and I was going to post a new thread before I found this one.
To one extent, I am glad we're not the only ones suffering - it might get some attention now.
On the other hand, I'm not holding my breath until I can see that someone at Microsoft has read and understood the problem.
Any tips will be very much welcome.
Thanks,
Tim

Thanks,
