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,
Solved! Go to Solution.

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