How to pass a empty parameter in URL filter query string

Hello i have a question:

I created this query:

 

(Name as text,datetimestart as text, datetimeend as text, listzones as text, listaps as text, listdevices as text, listuserprops as text, topreg as text) as table =>

let
    Source = Csv.Document(Web.Contents("https://localhost:44310/api/Emp?Name=" & Name & "&datetimestart=" &  datetimestart & "&datetimeend=" & datetimeend & "&listzones=" & listzones & "&listaps=" & listaps & "&listdevices=" & listdevices & "&listuserprops=" & listuserprops & "&topreg=" & topreg &  ""),[Delimiter=":", Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None])
in
    Source

 

In total i have 8 parameters and i need to pass to the URL some empty parameters like "listdevices and listuserprops"
But when i try to do it i receive the message "Please specify a value for listuserprops"



 

Is there a way to pass a empty parameter and how  ?


Thanks!!!

    Hi MarceloSilva5_ ,

    Please try to update the codes of parameter listdevices and listuserprops as below and check if it can work or not:

     

    null meta [IsParameterQuery=true, Type="Text", IsParameterQueryRequired=false]

     

    And you can get the details of query parameter in the following links.

      My Stored procedure :

       

      if (@Name = 'UniqueVisits')
            begin
                  set @BaseQuery = 'select count(distinct fp.device_id) as NVisits from f_presence fp '

				  if (@listzones is not null)
				  begin
					--set @includeap = 1
					set @QueryFilter = @QueryFilter + ' and coalesce(fp.zone_id,-1) in (' + @listzones + ')'   
				  end

				  if (@listaps is not null)
					set @QueryFilter = @QueryFilter + ' and coalesce(fp.ap_id,-1) in (' + @listaps + ')'

				  

                  set @QueryFilter = ' WHERE ((fp.datetime_start < ' + cast(@datetimeend as nvarchar(12)) + ' and fp.datetime_end > ' + cast (@datetimestart as nvarchar(12)) + ') OR fp.datetime_start = ' +  cast (@datetimestart as nvarchar(12)) + ')' + @QueryFilter 
                  
                  if (@includedevice = 1)
						set @TablesJoin = @TablesJoin + ' inner join l_device ld on ld.device_id = fp.device_id '
						
				  --if (@includeap = 1)
						--set @TablesJoin = @TablesJoin + ' inner join l_accesspoint lap on lap.ap_id = fp.ap_id '
                  
                  if (@includesession = 1)
                        set @TablesJoin = @TablesJoin + ' inner join f_session fs on fs.presence_id = fp.presence_id and ((fs.datetime_start <'+ cast(@datetimeend as nvarchar(12)) + ' and fs.datetime_end > ' + cast (@datetimestart as nvarchar(12)) + ') OR fs.datetime_start = ' +  cast (@datetimestart as nvarchar(12)) + ')'
                  
                  if (@includeappsession = 1)
                        set @TablesJoin = @TablesJoin + ' inner join f_applicationsession fapps on fapps.session_id = fs.session_id and fapps.datetime_start < ' + cast(@datetimeend as nvarchar(12)) + ' and fapps.datetime_start >= ' + cast (@datetimestart as nvarchar(12))
                        
                  if (@includeuserproperty = 1)
                        set @TablesJoin = @TablesJoin + ' inner join (' + @listuserprops + ') as lup on lup.aleuser_id = fs.user_id '
