Hi all,
I want to connect to this Open Data Portal run by Socrata from the EDD: https://data.edd.ca.gov/Industry-Information-/Quarterly-Census-of-Employment-and-Wages-QCEW-/fisq-v9....
However, it is so large that I want to specify in the query a filter (?$filter=year >2020).
When I try and use the SODA API endpoint even eithout any filtering language, I get the error below - it won't recognize it as a valid source/connection.
When I try and connect using the OData V2 endpoint, it works when I don't add any filtering language and simply add the link as the connection. However, when I try and add the query language to filter, it shows the error below.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you,
Alice

Oh man, I solved my own problem by learning more SQL than I ever knew! For anyone who searches the same key words because they're having the same problem.... here is the solution:
Connect to the V2 endpoint of the OData feed. Then use the right SQL language (I was not using it!). See bolded below:
= OData.Feed("https://data.edd.ca.gov/OData.svc/fisq-v939?$filter=year gt 2020 and area_name eq 'San Francisco County'", null, [Implementation="2.0"])
