Query with Web.Contents (POST) executed twice

Hello,


I created a new power query (reported below) in an empty pbix file.
The result is correct,(7000 rows csv file, compressed using gzip and encoded in base64) but if I trace the db or trace the request, I see that it's executed two times.
I already disabled "Allow Data Preview To Download In The Background"
Why this happen? Can someone help me?
Thanks for the support.

 

let
    url = "https://www.myurl.com",
    body = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>
	        <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"" xmlns:xsd=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"" xmlns:SOAP-ENV=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"">

    Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents(url,[Content=Text.ToBinary(body),Headers=[#"Content-Type"="text/xml;charset=UTF-8"],RelativePath="/servlet/myservlet"])),
    Table = Source{0}[Table],
    Table1 = Table{0}[Table], 
    Table2 = Table1{0}[Table], 
    base64 = Text.Combine(Table.Column(Table2, "return")), 
    gzip = Binary.FromText(base64, BinaryEncoding.Base64), 
    xmlbin = Binary.Decompress(gzip, Compression.GZip), 
    xml = Text.FromBinary(xmlbin), 
    Table3 = Xml.Tables(xml), 
    Table4 = Table3{0}[Table], 
    Table5 = Table4{0}[Table],

Hi @mafdam89

Are these two records in the trace file just the same?

Which datasoure do you connect to?

See a similar issue here solved.

 

Best Regards
