Consuming paginated reports

Hi everyone.

 

I'm trying consuming a SalesForce query using the function List.Generate, but something isn't working very well.

Each request result 3 rows.


[done] = When is false this means that we have more pages.

[nextRecordsUrl] = the URL to next record.

[records] = Lists.

 

I'm using the function above but only receive an empty list.

 

 

let
    #"Request Paginated" = List.Generate(()=> 
    [Result = try fn_buscarSalesforce(_query1) otherwise null],
    each [Result][done] = "FALSE",
    each [Result = try fn_buscarSalesforceNextPage([Result][nextRecordsUrl]) otherwise null],
    each [Result])
in
    #"Request Paginated"

 

Both subfunctions fn_buscarSales... work very well, when I run isolated.

    Two things to consider

     

    Is FALSE really in all caps (M is case sensitive)?

     

    Is the output of _query1 a text string URL?  If not, it will return null, your condition will not be met, and it will never return a result.

      Hi Pat.
      Yes, the return is FALSE and the _query its string.

      I did a query example and work perfectly.

    Your syntax looks correct.  I wrote the expression below to test it out.  Try it out in a blank query to confirm.  In my case, the expected result contains one list (in the list).

     

    let
    query1 = [done = "FALSE", records = {1,2,3}],
    query2 = [done = "TRUE", records = {1,2,3}],
    Custom1 = List.Generate(()=> [Result = try query1 otherwise null], each [Result][done] = "FALSE", each [Result = try query2 otherwise null], each [Result][records])
    in
    Custom1
