IP address mapping
- 9 years ago
Hi reno1
You can do it with the following steps below.
You need to create a function with the following code below with the name of fn_GetIPAddress
let Source = (#"IP Address" as text) => let Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("http://freegeoip.net/json/" & #"IP Address")), #"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(Source), #"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Converted to Table"), #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Transposed Table") in #"Promoted Headers" in SourceThe function will return the output into a table.
Then what you do is where your data is in the Query Editor you click on Invoke Custom Function, then put in the required fields as shown below.
NOTE: Make sure to select your column above that has got the IP Addresses
Then once you click Ok you will see the table as shown below.
Click on the Expand Table button, leave all the defaults and click Ok.
You should then get the details for each IP Address.
NOTE: There are more columns but I snipped them off.
Please let me know if this works or you get stuck.
Well their web resource is still working (for me at least). Maybe the way your Web.content is structured is incorrect?
I am new to Power BI aswell, i really dont understand what you are saying.
well, i have tried the way it is guided in this article. The code i am using for the function:
(#"IP Address" as text) =>
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://ipapi.co/json/" & #"IP Address")),
#"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(Source),
#"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Converted to Table"),
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Transposed Table")
in
#"Promoted Headers"
Tried below code aswell, same error:
let
Source = (#"IP Address" as text) => let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://ipapi.co/json/" & #"IP Address")),
#"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(Source),
#"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Converted to Table"),
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Transposed Table")
in
#"Promoted Headers"
in
