I try to xml retrieve the official ECB currency rates.
CHF, AUD works. All other currencies fail: why ?
Thanks for any help,
Ola


This works: = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/exchange/eurofxref/html/chf.xml"))
I get a nice table with currency rates


This fails: = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/exchange/eurofxref/html/usd.xml"))
Error message:
DataFormat.Error: Xml processing failed; either the input is invalid or it is not supported. (Internal error: The 'link' start tag on line 2 position 8 does not match the end tag of 'head'. Line 3, position 9.)
Details:
Binary

 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
USD works for me, CHF fails (as does GBP)! AT first I thought it was something to do with my/our location, but NZD also fails for me whilst AUD does not.

Thanks,
Good to know something's wrong with, either the ECB web-site, or the current version of PowerQuery.
