Hafsha Halim 0

hello,

I'm using Mac air M4, and MS 365. There, i want to import a population data using the URL link in excel via "from web" feature just like windows. However, after much try, I can't find any way to directly import data via using the URL. It was our lab requirement to directly import data. Why even in 2026, i have to struggle with mac!!!!

Dear @Hafsha Halim,

At the moment, this feature is only available on Windows devices. If you want to import data for Mac, you have to choose specific sources such as: CSV, XML, JSON, SQL Server database, etc. Import and shape data in Excel for Mac (Power Query) | Microsoft Support
