Problems connecting to API (Jira)
I'm trying to connect Power BI Desktop to our Jira on premise instance using the following query (found here with some modifications):
let
BaseUrl = "https://<jira-server-name>/rest/api/2/search?jql=project in ('<Project>')",
JiraIDPerPage = 1000,
GetJson = (Url) =>
let
RawData = Web.Contents(Url),
Json = Json.Document(RawData)
in Json,
GetJiraIDCount = () =>
let Url = BaseUrl & "&maxResults=0",
Json = GetJson(Url),
Count = Json[#"total"]
in Count,
GetPage = (Index) =>
let Skip = "&startAt=" & Text.From(Index * JiraIDPerPage),
Top = "&maxResults=" & Text.From(JiraIDPerPage),
Url = BaseUrl & Skip & Top,
Json = GetJson(Url),
Value = Json[#"issues"]
in Value,
JiraIDCount = List.Max({ JiraIDPerPage, GetJiraIDCount() }),
PageCount = Number.RoundUp(JiraIDCount / JiraIDPerPage),
PageIndices = { 0 .. PageCount - 1 },
Pages = List.Transform(PageIndices, each GetPage(_)),
JiraID = List.Union(Pages),
Table1 = Table.FromList(JiraID, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(Table1, "Column1", {"id", "key", "fields"}, {"issue.id", "issue.key", "issue.fields"})
in
#"Expanded Column1"
This query works fine in Power Query Editor and gets all Tickets from Jira. When I press "Close & Apply" the following Message pops up after several seconds:
Replacing "Column1" with Table.ColumnNames(Table§){0} in the query results in
As I'm new to Power Bi I'm stuck. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
PS: I'm using Microsoft Power BI Desktop Version: 2.88.1385.0 64-bit (Dezember 2020)
