Currently I am using the following code to loop through pages until an empty page is reached by using Table.RowCount([Func]) >= 1.
Now I wanna change the code such that the looping stops when the records reached certain "CreatedDate" to retrieve only the most updated pages of records. I am so stuck in setting up the looping condition as nothing seems working, any idea? many thanks!
let
GetAllData = (Project as any) => let
GetData = (Page as number) =>
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(CompanyURL , [RelativePath = "/" & Project & "/api/v2/formitems?key=" & APIKey & "&pagesize=5000&page=" & Number.ToText(Page)])),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error)
in
#"Converted to Table",
#"List" =
List.Generate( ()=>
[Page=0, Func=null],
each [Page] = 0 or Table.RowCount([Func]) >= 1,
each [Page =_[Page]+1,
Func=GetData([Page]+1)],
each _[Func]),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(List, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Removed Top Rows" = Table.Skip(#"Converted to Table",1),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Top Rows", "Column1", {"Column1"}, {"Column1.1"}),
#"Expanded Column1.1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded Column1", "Column1.1", {"ID", "CreatedDate"}, {"ID", "CreatedDate"}),
in
#"Expanded Column1.1",
Project = () =>
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(CompanyURL, [RelativePath = "/Admin/api/projects?key=" & APIKey])),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"URL", "Finished"}, {"URL", "Finished"}),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded Column1", each ([Finished] = false)),
#"Inserted Text After Delimiter" = Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Rows", "Text After Delimiter", each Text.AfterDelimiter([URL], "/"), type text),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Inserted Text After Delimiter",{{"Text After Delimiter", "Project"}, {"URL", "FullURL"}}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Renamed Columns",{"Finished"})
in
#"Removed Columns",
Source = Project (),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each GetAllData([Project])),
in
#"Added Custom"
Hi @nuance ,
how would you know the most updated data before entering the loop?
Or: If you need to determine that while looping: Wouldn't you have to run through the whole loop until finding out the most recent one?
So: Please share the logic how the most recent date can be determined.
