How to ignore "Web query returned no data" error

I have the following querry but it sometimes gives the error "This Web query returned no data". I need to stop this error from being shown and if no data is returned, just leave the tables filled with the results of the last succesful querry. I produced this code using the Data - From Web button. 

 

let
Source = Web.Page(Web.Contents("https://tradingeconomics.com/commodities")),
Data1 = Source{1}[Data],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Data1,{{"Metals", type text}, {"Price", type number}, {"Day", type number}, {"%", Percentage.Type}, {"Weekly", Percentage.Type}, {"Monthly", Percentage.Type}, {"YoY", Percentage.Type}, {"Date", type date}})
in
#"Changed Type"

I have no clue how to implement this into the code I posted. This is the code created by the Data - From Web button....

 

let
Source = Web.Page(Web.Contents("https://tradingeconomics.com/commodities")),
Data1 = Source{1}[Data],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Data1,{{"Metals", type text}, {"Price", type number}, {"Day", type number}, {"%", Percentage.Type}, {"Weekly", Percentage.Type}, {"Monthly", Percentage.Type}, {"YoY", Percentage.Type}, {"Date", type date}})
in
#"Changed Type"
