So I have a table with parameters for changing date ranges in API call.
I followed answers here and other resources and succesfully managed to gather data iteratively. Then I published my report in workplace and detected that it is not possible to refresh dataset. I googled again, stumbled upon reasons and solutions and tried to implement.
So I have upgraded my function-as-parameter so power BI web should be able to validate url:
let
Source = (param as text) =>
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("api_url_part",
[
RelativePath="api_url_part" & some_parameter & "api_url_part" & param,
Query=
[
Headers=[Accept="application/json", Authorization="Token xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]
]
]
)),
by_date = Source[by_date],
#"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(by_date),
#"Expanded Value" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Value", {"session_count", "visitor_count", "desktop_visitors_count", "mobile_visitors_count", "tablet_visitors_count"}, {"session_count", "visitor_count", "desktop_visitors_count", "mobile_visitors_count", "tablet_visitors_count"})
in
#"Expanded Value"
in
SourceMy other query that iterates API calls:
let
step_1 = Date_params[date_param],
step_2 = List.Transform (step_1, func_p()),
in
step_3Before I used Relative Path and Query everything worked on PowerBi desktop, only in web I had problems. Now when I run the second query I get this error message:
Expression.Error: 0 arguments were passed to a function which expects 1.
Details:
Pattern=
Arguments=ListIf I enter parameter manually, first query is able to retrieve data so it means problem lies in and I need to change second query as well but I cannot figure out how.
Thanks in advance!
I made a mistake, I passed underscore as parameter before, this is actual mistake I get:
An error occurred in the ‘’ query. Expression.Error: We cannot convert a value of type Record to type Text.
Details:
Value=Record
Type=Type
