I would like to connect it in Excel 2013 using web query (with the Power Query it works but I would like to implement it as web query from the Data tab).
In a new excel sheet I am doing the below
1) Open a blank sheet
2) Go to Data-> From Web
3) I add the link and click GO. It returns me the below. I am not sure if this error is the reason of my problem
4) By clicking 'Yes' I have the below (everything fine until now)
But when I click the import button (and select the first cell for this import) it returns an 'Open Page Builder' message. Why this happens?
I did not have this problem until last year and I do not understand what is the issue here.
Zoho Support told me that it is Microsoft issue. Can you please reproduce it and tell me why it does not show me the page in an excel table?
It should return be something like that (without the color format)
It works for me by following this method.
1) Open a blank sheet
2) Go to Data-> From Web
3) I add the link and click GO. It returns me the below
4). I choose Basic option and enter URL and click OK
5). I get the following screen
6). I Choose the second option that is Table. As per my experience data desired by us is contained in Tables.
7). I click Load button to get the data, which loads on web page correctly.
HTH
A). If you choose Advanced option in step 3 then we will get the following dialog box. In this box in upper part we can add a URL by its constituent parts. For example http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-setting-a-dynamic-URL-connection/td-p/57072
has been shown entered into its constituent parts in the snapshot shown below. Further details to set a dynamic URL connection can be referred in linked document.
B). In the lower part of the dialog box there is a drop down to select HTTP Request Header Parameters like
Accept Required. Set this to application/json.
Accept-Encoding Optional. Supported encodings are gzip and deflate.
Authorization Required. See authentication.
Connection Optional. It is recommended that Keep-Alive be enabled.
Content-Length Optional. It is recommended taht the request body length be specified when known.
etc....
Further details can referred Query Management HTTP Request

Edit:
Regarding OP's comment whether same Excel file can run on another PC, my opinion is it is not possible. When try to copy file to temporary storage for transfer, we get a warning that this file can not be copied to new location with its properties. Are you sure you want to copy without its properties. Please see this warning snap shot.
As such it seems that the same query may not work in a new location. New query has to be created for that location.

In previous version I had a functionaly to download a .wiq file and it opens inside visual studio. From there I could go to web version of query editor.
Link is similar to: http://tfs/_queries/query/?tempQueryId={Guid}&resultsEditorContext=query-edit
For now application is a TFS extension and I want to open web query editor from there.
So the problem is how to get or generate this tempQueryId.
Thank you for your help!
At present, you still could be able to download the .wiq file.
Select the Edit query wiql
In the pop-up web dialog, click Export
Choose save it will be download as New Query 1.wiq in local file system
Besides, there are two ways to share a query, Email query items or share a query URL.
If share a query with Copy query URL, it will generate a temp query id, which is not allow others to access the query path. This should be the same temp query ID which you mentioned.
However, there isn’t the method or property to get the temp query id. Also, from collection database, there isn’t the table for that information too. Take a look at this similar question here.
I'm creating a hyperlink in excel
=HYPERLINK("https://www.redacted.com/index.html?Display=GroupMeetings/index","link")
When I click on this link it changes the Url to
https://www.redacted.com/index.html?redirectURL=Display%3DGroupMeetings%2Findex
if I change the URL to have ?Displayy= with two y's it does not add the redirectURL attribute. I cannot find any documentation about why this is added. Anyone know why?
The end goal is to deep launch users to specific pages within the application via a hyperlink in excel.
Do the users need to be authenticated to view the pages you are sending them to?
If so the cause may be this (taken from this answer on super user https://superuser.com/a/445431/154198):
Clicking a URL in Excel seems to open it in your default browser. But that's not really true. Before opening it in your browser, Excel first runs Microsoft Office Protocol Discovery. This uses a Windows/Internet Explorer component to determine if the URL works. (It does not identify itself as Internet Explorer, but as "User Agent: Microsoft Office Existence Discovery".) And if the results are (somehow) okay then it will open the result of that check in your default browser.
Microsoft have issued a fix for this KB218153 - which can be found here:https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/218153/error-message-when-clicking-hyperlink-in-office-cannot-locate-the-inte
This may not be your specific problem, but it is at least worth knowing about.
I have created 2 odata queries in excel which fetch data from 2 sharepoint lists. Then I appended the 2 queries to append the data from both list into one. Now i have three queries, Query 1 fro list 1, Query 2 for list 2, and Query append for appended data. I went to connection settings and checked the option to refresh my queries every time the excel file is opened so that I have latest data from my lists.
Query Properties screenshot.
I saved the file and uplaoded on sharepoint library. Now whenever i open the file from sharepoint in excel online I get an error "External data refresh failed".error message.
The data doesnt get refreshed if i press ok.
Strangely this problem does not comes if I download the excel file and open it locally and refresh the data.
You need to create a connection in the Secure Store and tie the credentials to later be used by your Excel spreadsheet.
Once you supply the user account and password in the Secure Store, you will need to get back to your Excel spreadsheet and change the authentication settings to match the one from the Secure Store, enter it on the Application ID.
I'm working with Power Query in Excel 2016 and when trying to setup an oData Feed (Data Tab > New Query > From Other Sources > From OData Feed) I get a message back saying (406) Not Acceptable. Normally on the OData Feed, I put in the URL (Basic is selected by default) and it opens up an authentication window (to put in username and password).
I have two excel workbooks now with one being created about four weeks ago, using the same process and it works as expected; one can even select refresh data and it makes the connection and refreshes the data.
The second excel workbook is a new, created from scratch (as I wanted to go through a bit of a different path with the Power Query editor), but I cannot get past the OData feed creation.
It seems odd that the same URL that was setup before is not working in a new spreadsheet.
It looks like it was purely an issue with selecting oData as the feed. I'm connecting to JIRA rest web services and should have selected (Data Tab > New Query > From Other Sources > From Web) (the From Web over From OData Feed made all the difference)
I am running OWASP ZAP Spider on a domain and retrieving the list of URLs. In the list I can see few OUT OF SCOPE URLs as shown in the image below.
I want to export all this output into an excel (including all the entries tagged as "OUT OF SCOPE"). Can anyone please help me with that?
You can access this information via the ZAP API, which has a (basic) HTML interface.
Point your browser to the host/port your instance of ZAP is listening on and select: "Local API" / "spider" / "fullResults"
Then enter '0' for the scanId and press the 'fullResults' button. You may also need to supply your API key, which is available from the ZAP Options / API screen.
You can also change the format of the results if you want - HTML, JSON and XML are all supported.

export the findings in an xml format and make sure you name the file. open the excel spreadsheet go to the data tab. from the external data section, choose the tab "from other source" and select the xml option. from there you will be directed to a dialog box where you can browse for the exported xml document. follow the prompts given and it should arrange your data accordingly
