Get external data from web not showing
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 ...

Have you tried "From html"? Seems to me that is the one you need?

JKPieterse that was my first thought, but "from HTML" just prompts me to select an HTML file from a local folder. It doesn't give me the option to select a web link, which is what the "from Web" option allows.
This is so frustrating, every single tutorial I've been able to find clearly points users to the "from Web" option specifically, but it's simply nowhere to be found on my menu.

pdramorim , Get Data from Web is Power Query connector, I'm not sure it is supported for Mac

SergeiBaklan, I see. That would certainly explain why I can't see it on my end.
If that is indeed the case, that's actually even more frustrating. Is there no other way to have live information being fed from a website into my spreadsheet if I'm working off a mac?
