Error Handling for Data Source

‎09-21-2020 09:34 AM

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.
