I'm trying to loop between multiple website pages. What I want to do is to invoke CreateFxTable so the values will change based on the corresponding date generated by CreateDateTable. I can't seem to make it work though.
let CreateFxTable = (Date as text, MainCurrency as text) as table =>
let CreateDateTable = (StartDate as date, EndDate as date, optional Culture as nullable text) as table =>
let
DayCount = Duration.Days(Duration.From(EndDate - StartDate)),
Source2 = List.Dates(StartDate,DayCount,#duration(1,0,0,0)),
TableFromList = Table.FromList(Source2, Splitter.SplitByNothing()),
Source = Web.BrowserContents("https://www.website.com/currencytables/?from="&MainCurrency&"&date="&Date),
#"Extracted Table From Html" = Html.Table(Source, {{"Currency", "TABLE.currencytables__Table-xlq26m-3.jaGdii > TBODY > TR > :nth-child(1)"}, {"USD Per Unit", "TABLE.currencytables__Table-xlq26m-3.jaGdii > TBODY > TR > :nth-child(4)"}}, [RowSelector="TABLE.currencytables__Table-xlq26m-3.jaGdii > TBODY > TR"]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Extracted Table From Html",{{"Currency", type text}, {"USD Per Unit", type number}}),
#"Filter"= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each List.Contains( {"USD","AUD","CAD","CHF","EUR","GBP","INR","MXN","PHP","PEN","PLN","RMB","SGD","HKD"} , [Currency] ))
in
TableFromList,
InvokedCreateDateTable = CreateDateTable(#date(Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow())-9,4,1), #date(Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow()),Date.Month(DateTime.LocalNow()),Date.Day(DateTime.LocalNow())), null),
ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(InvokedCreateDateTable,{{"Column1", type date}}),
FormatDatetoText = Table.AddColumn(ChangedType, "Date", each Date.ToText([Column1],[Format="yyyy-MM-dd"])),
RemoveOriginalDateColumn = Table.RemoveColumns(FormatDatetoText,{"Column1"}),
FilteredRows = Table.SelectRows(RemoveOriginalDateColumn, each ([Date] = "2013-04-01" or [Date] = "2013-04-02"))
in
#"Filter",
#"Invoked Custom Function" = Table.AddColumn(FilteredRows, "Exchange Rates (2)", each CreateFxTable([Date], "USD"))
in
#"Invoked Custom Function"
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solve it with below revised query
