I am in Melbourne Australia, and have been tasked with filtering our Covid Contact sites to focus on the regions where the org I work for operates....
https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/exposure-sites#case-alerts--public-exposure-sites
I had 2 solutions to the problem, depending on how the site was set up, but now they've changed set up again and I don't think I can extract a table easily.
Previously, they just had the sites listed in a table, so power query did the job easily. get data from web, clean it up as I wanted it, add a vlookup, job done.
I'd also worked out a more convoluted way where I literally copy and pasted what was on the web page and then used formulas to get the data, but now the site has set it up differently again.
Is there a way to easily extract the contact site list if there isn't an obvious table for Power Query to pick up?

Afraid not, now these are dynamic tables generated by java script, PQ doesn't work with them.
