    LON,

    Change your code as follows. And maybe you would need to change List.IsEmpty(content) part in the following code to List.IsEmpty(Source) or List.IsEmpty(body), you can test it.

    let

Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://xxxxxxxxxxxxx", [Headers=[zzzzz="xxxxxx"]])),
body = Source[body],
content = body[content],
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(content, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
Table1=Table.FromRecords({
        [Column1 = ""]
        
    }),
     result= if List.IsEmpty(content) then Table1 else #"Converted to Table" 
in
     result

That could be one approach.

 

I'm not too sure what will work as I'm not sitting directly with your problem, but the approach would be to insert 0 when nothing is found. I hope this makes sense.
