Python add data to existing table based on existing data
- 4 years ago
Hi, Anonymous
Could you consider turning off both options in power query?
And try not to add data sources that you don't want to refresh after publishing to the service.
Did I answer your question? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.

Ok, indeed. Thanks.
However, I use data from an already existing dataset as variable for my second web query. How can I fetch the data from this first dataset. Sy this would be a table called "test"
I would like to do something like :
df = test # my already existing table
gb_list = df['Column2'].T.tolist()
How can I do that?
AFAIK, you can't use py to read datasets existing in PBI because they are not stored as separate files.
PQ itself is a powerful ETL tool; I don't see the point resorting to a third-party script to manipulate dataset already existing within PQ.

What I try to do is scrape a webpage with a lot of data and each time I start PBI I want to add the latest records and not load the everything again because this would take ages. Besides the initial data comes from one webpage and the added data from another. I hope this makes sense.
