I am pulling data from a series of SharePoint lists. using a custom function. It may happen that I don;t have permission to a particular list. How do I manage that?
...
try
GetProducts([URL])
otherwise
Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8svPS1WKjQUA",
BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)),
let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t])
...
This doesn't work.
Sure, if the list has no contents it's fine and a create a "None" response, but if I don't have permission to the list, then I have a fail.
How do I work with that?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Sounds right, but what is the syntax?
let
Source = (FM_URL as any) =>
let
// listSource = OData.Feed(FM_URL, null, Implementation="2.0",IncludeAnnotations=""]),
Source2 = try
SharePoint.Tables(FM_URL, [ApiVersion = 15])
otherwise
.....

#"Renamed"
