Tables not showing up in Query-Editor

[BBMB]

Hello, I'm currently trying to access tables from the following website:

http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201702030ORL.html

The problem I am having is with the "Line Score" table and the "Four Factors" table. (line_score - four_factors)

This used to not be a problem, so I am wondering if the webmasters made it more difficult to access these tables. For some reason those 2 tables are not showing up in the Query-Editor for extraction.

Please can someone check to see if they have better luck?

I used to do regular web-query imports, to access the table data, but that stopped working after the webmasters commented the data in the source code. I had to start using Power Query, which did me well for some time, but now that isn't working anymore.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

BBMB,

Tried it with 2016 Excel Get Data and no luck, think the webmasters have played with the puppy, got this https://www.screencast.com/t/ZFtbzQZKjsL2 and none are the tables that you want

Thanks for trying Ed, even though you confirmed my biggest fear.

I guess Get and Transform has its limits.

I'm going to try and find another way to scrape.

Yep, looks like they are using javascript, which is a total killer for Power Query.

That's the big issue with referring to external pages... they're not under your control.
