    Hi Anonymous,

    Add a new blank query in Power BI Desktop, then paste  the following code in Advanced Editor.

    let sqltext = (Date as text) =>

let
    Source = Json.Document((Web.Contents("https://api.tatts.com/sales/vmax/web/data/racing/" & Date & "/sr/full")))
in
    Source  
in
    sqltext


    Then you can input date in the sqltext function to return result of that date. See my example below.


    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang
