Expression.SyntaxError: Token Eof expected

I am getting an error creating an external data connection to a Json Dataset.


The current query is;

 

Let
getData = (optional cursor as text) =>
let
cursor = if cursor = null then “” else cursor,
source = Web.Contents(
https://(DataSet URL Removed),
[Query=[cursor=cursor]]
),
json = Json.Document(source)
in
json
,
data = List.Generate(
() => [hasNext = true, result = getData()],
each [hasNext] <> false,
each [
result = getData([result][cursor]),
hasNext = [result][hasNext]
],
each [result][collection]
)
in
data

 

I am getting an error on LINE 2 - Token Eof Expected. I am not sure what fix needs to exist.

 

Any assistance is appreciated!

Hi @vnardo1 ,

 

From the syntax you present it seems to me that you are trying to create a custom function correct?

 

the getData part on that line is not necessary try only:

 

Let
(optional cursor as text) =>
let
cursor = if cursor = null then “” else cursor,
source = Web.Contents(
https://(DataSet URL Removed),
[Query=[cursor=cursor]]
),
json = Json.Document(source)
in
json
,
data = List.Generate(
() => [hasNext = true, result = getData()],
each [hasNext] <> false,
each [
result = getData([result][cursor]),
hasNext = [result][hasNext]
],
each [result][collection]
)
in
data
