Solved: Error Handling for Data Source

deevs · ‎09-21-2020

dear All,

Can anyone assist me with finding a way to handle the HTTP Error.

For an example when pulling data from a API , is there way to load an error message as a column to the table to avoid the data refresh being interrupted.

Thanks,

Hi @deevs ,

Chris Webb wrote a blog post about it.

It first checks the source with M code and returns an alternative result in the expected data structure in the event of an error.

Did I answer your question?
