Hi
I have a timeout issue see below ...
After searching for a solution I added [Timeout=#duration(0,0,15,0)]) to the query but the issue remains.
Below is my code ...
let
// Function for each Sector-Information
WebCall = (SectorID as text) =>
let
Source = Web.Page(Web.Contents("http://www.hl.co.uk/funds/fund-discounts,-prices--and--factsheets/search-results?sectorid="&SectorID&"&lo=2&filters=0%2C1%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C&page=1&tab=prices",[Timeout=#duration(0,0,15,0)])),
Custom1 = Source{[ClassName="table-styled table-sortable"]}[Data],
ListOfAllPages = if List.Count(List.Skip(Text.Split(Custom1{0}[Name], "#(lf)")))=0 then {"1"} else List.Skip(Text.Split(Custom1{0}[Name], "#(lf)")),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(ListOfAllPages, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
RearragnedURL = Table.AddColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Custom", each Web.Page(Web.Contents("http://www.hl.co.uk/funds/fund-discounts,-prices--and--factsheets/search-results?tab=prices§orid="&SectorID&"&lo=0&page="&[Column1]&"")){[ClassName="table-styled table-sortable"]}[Data]),
#"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(RearragnedURL, "Custom", {"Name", "Name2", "Current price Sell (p)", "Current price Buy (p)", "Current price Change (p)", "Yield", "More information", "Go to"}, {"Name", "Name2", "Current price Sell (p)", "Current price Buy (p)", "Current price Change (p)", "Yield", "More information", "Go to"}),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded Custom", each not Text.StartsWith([Name], "Page:")),
#"Changed Type" = try Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Filtered Rows",{{"Name", type text}, {"Name2", type text}, {"Current price Sell (p)", type number}, {"Current price Buy (p)", type number}, {"Current price Change (p)", type number}, {"Yield", Percentage.Type}, {"More information", type text}, {"Go to", type any}}) otherwise null
in
try #"Changed Type" otherwise null,
// Start of main query: Dig into Html to retrieve a table with all Sectors
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\PC\Google Drive\Finance Docs\HL\HL Sector IDs.xlsm"), null, true),
#"HL Sector IDs_Sheet" = Source{[Item="HL Sector IDs",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"HL Sector IDs_Sheet",{{"Column1", Int64.Type}, {"Column2", type text}}),

// Call function and cleanup
CallEachFunction = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type2", "WebCall", each WebCall([Custom.1])),
FilterOutEmpties = Table.SelectRows(CallEachFunction, each ([WebCall] <> null)),
ExpandColumns = Table.ExpandTableColumn(FilterOutEmpties, "WebCall", {"Column1", "Name", "Name2", "Current price Sell (p)", "Current price Buy (p)", "Current price Change (p)", "Yield", "More information", "Go to"}, {"Column1", "Name", "Name2", "Current price Sell (p)", "Current price Buy (p)", "Current price Change (p)", "Yield", "More information", "Go to"}),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(ExpandColumns,{{"Current price Sell (p)", type number}, {"Current price Buy (p)", type number}, {"Current price Change (p)", type number}, {"Yield", type number}}),
#"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type1",{{"Custom.1", "SectorID"}, {"Column1", "Page no."}}),
