Transferring data from a website to OneDrive and then importing it into Power BI is a feasible

approach when direct web scraping or using the "Web" connector in Power Query isn't practical,
and when the website doesn't provide downloadable data files in a suitable format. This method
can be particularly useful for automating data updates if the data in OneDrive is regularly
refreshed.

Here's a step-by-step overview of this approach:

1. Data Transfer to OneDrive:

 Retrieve the tabular data from the website and save it in a format compatible with
OneDrive, such as CSV or Excel.
 Upload the data file to your OneDrive or a shared OneDrive location.
2. OneDrive Integration with Power BI:
 In Power BI Desktop, you can connect to data stored in OneDrive by using the
"OneDrive" connector.
 Go to the "Home" tab, click on "Get Data," and select "OneDrive."
3. Authenticate and Select Data:
 Sign in with your OneDrive account credentials if prompted.
 Navigate to the location in your OneDrive where the data file is stored and select
it.
4. Data Transformation (if necessary):
 Use Power Query in Power BI to perform any necessary data transformations on
the imported data, such as cleaning, shaping, or filtering.
5. Build Visualizations and Reports:
 After importing and transforming the data, you can proceed to create
visualizations, reports, and dashboards in Power BI based on the data imported
from OneDrive.
6. Scheduled Refresh:
 If the data in your OneDrive location is regularly updated, you can configure
scheduled refresh in Power BI Service to ensure that your reports stay up to date
automatically.

This method allows you to leverage the cloud storage capabilities of OneDrive to host your data,
making it accessible to Power BI for reporting purposes. It's a practical solution when you need to
work with data from websites that don't offer direct data access or downloadable files, and it
provides the advantage of automated data updates through scheduled refresh in Power BI
Service.
