Delay a web query before calling it
Hi, I'd like to delay a query from accessing the web content for 10 seconds.
Here's my current query:
let
Source = Csv.Document(Web.Contents("httpsURL"),[Delimiter=",", Columns=5, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Source, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
in
#"Promoted Headers"
and here's how I think it would work:
let
Source = Function.InvokeAfter(Csv.Document(Web.Contents("httpsURL"),[Delimiter=",", Columns=5, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),#duration(0,0,0,10)),
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Source, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
in
#"Promoted Headers"
This gives me an error: "We cannot convert a value of type Table to type Function".
Again, I'd like to enter this delay before accessing the web source.
Hi WorkHard ,
PowerQuery M is not my strong suit but I recalled a similar question. I think your M should work like this:
let Source = Function.InvokeAfter( () => Csv.Document(Web.Contents("httpsURL"),[Delimiter=",", Columns=5, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),#duration(0,0,0,10)), #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Source, [PromoteAllScalars=true]) in #"Promoted Headers"Kind regards
