Advocate IError - failed to save modifications to the server : Facebook likes
Hello,
I try to analyze the likes evolution of my page, I put that code in the Advanced Editor :
let
Source = Facebook.Graph("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.7/[MYPAGENAME]/insights/page_fans?since=2016-12-31"),
#"Expanded values" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Source, "values", {"value", "end_time"}, {"values.value", "values.end_time"})
in
#"Expanded values"
I can see the table correctly but when I close and apply, here is the message that appears: "Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.error] Facebook: Invalid Parameter.'.
Please help ! :)
Thanks!
Jessica
Hi,
This Facebook connector is still not very stable mainly because Facebook often changes the structure of its APIs...
This should somehow work:
= Facebook.Graph("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/[YourFacebookPageName]/insights/page_fans?since=2016-12-31")[values]{0}
The green part of the code allows me to force Power Query to get the first table included in the list of tables ([values]) available.
This code also works:
= Facebook.Graph("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/[YourFacebookPageName]/insights/page_fans?since=2017-12-31"){0}[values]
In this case, I am getting the 1st full record of the Query and then the table included in the [values] element of this 1st record.
