Below is the source code i am using: 

let AnalyticsQuery =

| top 1000 by timestamp desc
",#"x-ms-app"="AAPBI",#"prefer"="ai.response-thinning=true"],Timeout=#duration(1,0,4,0)])),
TypeMap = #table(
{ "AnalyticsTypes", "Type" }, 
{ 
{ "string",   Text.Type },
{ "int",      Int32.Type },
{ "long",     Int64.Type },
{ "real",     Double.Type },

{ "bool",     Logical.Type },

{ "dynamic",  Text.Type }
}),
DataTable = Source[tables]{0},
Columns = Table.FromRecords(DataTable[columns]),
ColumnsWithType = Table.Join(Columns, {"type"}, TypeMap , {"AnalyticsTypes"}),
Rows = Table.FromRows(DataTable[rows], Columns[name]), 
Table = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Rows, Table.ToList(ColumnsWithType, (c) => { c{0}, c{3}}))
in
Table
in
    AnalyticsQuery

 

Can anyone please help what is wrong here? How we can get the data refreshed?

Any help with this is really appreciated!

 

Thanks,

@sudhak Are you using a gateway? I don't recall when the change was implemented, but it was awhile ago that you need a gateway when using web.contents i believe.
