Dynamic Data Source / date

Hi, when I am writing the below script in PowerBi Desktop, it works properly and "Date" is refreshed dynamically.

However, when I publish it online, the following error occurs: "This dataset includes a dynamic data source. Since dynamic data sources aren't refreshed in the Power BI service, this dataset won't be refreshed. Learn more: https://aka.ms/dynamic-data-sources."

 

I would highly appreciate your assistance on how to amend the below script, in order to be able to dynamically refresh online.

 

 

let
    Date = Date.ToText(Date.AddDays(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),-10),"yyyy-MM-dd"),

    Source = Csv.Document(Web.Contents("...URL...&granularity=hour&fromDate=" & Date &"&toDate=2030-01-01&format=csv"),[Delimiter=",", Columns=5, Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),

...

 

Your assistance will be much appreciated.

Try putting the parameters in like this

Web.Contents("...URL...", [Query=[granularity="hour", fromDate=Date, toDate="2030-01-01", format="csv"]]))
