Hello Community,
I need your support to troubleshoot my issue with the online refresh not enabled. I defined the following function 'ExecuteREST' to invoke a REST with pagination by using Web.Contents RelativePath and Query:
let
GetAllPages = (BaseUrl as text, RelativePathParam as text) =>
let
GetPage = (PageNumber as number) =>
let
Response = Json.Document(Web.Contents(
BaseUrl,
[
RelativePath = RelativePathParam,
Query = [
page = Text.From(PageNumber)
]
]
)),
Entries = try Response[entries] otherwise null,
Updated = try Response[updated] otherwise null
in
[Entries = Entries, Updated = Updated],
Pages = List.Generate(
() => [PageNumber = 1, PageData = GetPage(1)],
each [PageData][Entries] <> null and List.Count([PageData][Entries]) > 0,
each [PageNumber = [PageNumber] + 1, PageData = GetPage([PageNumber] + 1)],
each [PageData]
),
CombinedResults = List.Combine(List.Transform(Pages, each [Entries])),
UpdatedValue = if List.Count(Pages) > 0 then Pages{0}[Updated] else null,
ResultTable = Table.FromList(CombinedResults, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
ResultTableWithUpdated = Table.AddColumn(ResultTable, "updated", each UpdatedValue),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(ResultTableWithUpdated, "Column1", {"content"}, {"content"})
in
#"Expanded Column1"
in
GetAllPages
I'm using this function to consume my REST, as follows:
let
BaseUrl = "<MY BASE REST URL>",
RelativePath = "<MY RELATIVE PATH>",
Source = ExecuteREST(BaseUrl, RelativePath),
#"Expanded content" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(Source, "content", {"src"}, {"src"}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded content", "jsonData", each let
RelativePathColumn = Text.AfterDelimiter([src], BaseUrl),
JsonData = Json.Document(Web.Contents(BaseUrl, [RelativePath = RelativePathColumn]))
in
JsonData),
#"Expanded jsonData" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Added Custom", "jsonData", {"properties"}, {"properties"}),
...doing some other irrelevant formatting actions on the exported properties.....
Basically, my first REST execution returns several RESTs to be invoked; each returned sub-REST has the same URL as the first one, except for a specific reference for each one. In this specific case, my first REST is <MY BASE REST>/users, and this REST returns one REST endpoint for each user, like <MY BASE REST/users/user1, etc..
The data is returned, but when i publish the report, the online refresh is not supported.
Can you help me on this?
Thank you

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi all,
I resolved this by having a unique function rather than a dedicated REST client:
let
BaseUrl = "MY BASE URL",
GetPage = (PageNumber as number) =>
let
Response = Json.Document(Web.Contents(
BaseUrl,
[
RelativePath = "MY RELATIVE PATH",
Query = [
param = "MY PARAM",
page = Text.From(PageNumber)
],
Timeout = #duration(0, 0, 10, 0) // Imposta il timeout a 10 minuti
]
)),
Results = try Response[entries] otherwise null
in
Results,
GetAllPages = List.Generate(
() => [PageNumber = 1, Results = GetPage(1)],
each [Results] <> null and List.Count([Results]) > 0,
each [PageNumber = [PageNumber] + 1, Results = GetPage([PageNumber] + 1)],
each [Results]
),
CombinedResults = List.Combine(List.Transform(GetAllPages, each _)),
ResultTable = Table.FromList(CombinedResults, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(ResultTable, "Column1", {"content"}, {"content"}),
#"Expanded content" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded Column1", "content", {"properties"}, {"properties"}),
