Using Web-Sourced NFL Stats in Data Analysis

Have you ever connected to a web source to do some data analysis? I am sure it's what everyone does in his or her spare time, right?  Well, I am a nerd (proudly) and I have definitely tapped into NFL stats when trying to decide who to play on my Fantasy Football team. 

If you have ever tried something similar, then I bet you were frustrated with the tables that you can import/transform based on the HTML code.  Do you want to eliminate that frustration and save some time in the Power Query Editor?  If you answered yes to to that previous question, then take a look at this video that demonstrates how you can add a table from a website by feeding Power BI some examples of what you want.

In my video, I will pull in some NFL stats because I sure hope we have at least a little bit of a season.  Along with any start of the NFL season comes fantasy football.  With fantasy football comes some crazy data crunchers who do their best to put the odds in their favor.  Luck though sometimes can prevail.  With a little luck, I can show you a quick way of how to analyze up to the minute data of your fantasy lineup.
