Hi, I am connecting the excel to this site -
https://calendar.2net.co.il/parasha.aspx
It's in Hebrew (I hope you don't mind...) 
I already created a query linked to the site several months ago
 and now I click refresh and an error message pops up -
[DataFormat.Error] The server or Proxy the was not found


And when I create a new query, an error message appears
 the server or Proxy the - was not found.
I didn't understand the error message.
How can this be fixed? Thanks

Hi Lea,

I don't have any problem loading a table off that website using a new query - see attached file.

Can you please supply your file so we can examine it.

Regards

Phil

Hi Lea,

I'm not getting an issue I'm afraid.  When I run your query I get 59 rows loaded into excel.

Hi Lea,

I don't know.  That error message does not make any grammatical sense, are you translating it from Hebrew?  It would make sense if it read 'the server or proxy was not found'.

In which case I'd guess it was basically saying it can't find the website.  However I don't know why it mentions a proxy.  How is your network set up?  Are you using proxy servers?

Regards

Phil
