Hello! I just signed up and started with Power Query. I'm on section 2.09 and seeing some weird behavior. I downloaded PowerBI Desktop v2.123.742.0 64-bit (November 2023). I'm using the URL in the video of https://worldcat.org/search?q=Eysenck&fq=&dblist=638&start=1&qt=previous_page and the Add Table Using Examples is coming up blank. Any ideas what is going on here? Thanks for the help!
Hi Robert,
I think that site has changed its structure/layout, so Power Query isn't able to work with it as it did when I recorded the video.
If you'd like a site to use for practice, try this page where there is a table of 4 phones listed at the top that you can get data from.

Hi Mynda,
That site worked better but I'm still having some issues which I believe are related to my lack of knowledge of PowerBI. I was able to import the data from a generated table but I had some issues adjusting the dollar amounts in the fields. I couldn't figure out how to edit them. Can you update the video with an example that we can follow along with when you get a chance?

Hi Robert,
What exactly were you trying to do in terms of editing? Change amounts, change formatting, something else?
