Explanation
Excel can connect to compatible web-based data sources through:
Data → Get Data → From Other Sources → From Web
You provide a web address and Excel attempts to identify available structured data.
Example
A webpage contains a table such as:
|
Product |
Category |
Price |
|
Keyboard |
Accessories |
800 |
|
Mouse |
Accessories |
500 |
|
Monitor |
Hardware |
8500 |
Excel can use the web source to retrieve compatible table data.
