Refreshing queries with functions doens't work

Have not tried that one, can you publish your function here and I'll play around with it and see if I can get it to function. (pun intended)

I've tried using a function from an Azure Machine Learning Web Service and it works perfectly. I've tried others that work over a set of tables from Excel Files and also from a SQL Database table and they work great as well.

Is there any chance that you can paste the M code here so we can take a look?

I experience exactly the same problem. When I use hardcoded path (local or OneDrive for Business), it allows me to configure refresh. However, when I use function which returns me file according to path specified dynamically, the refresh cannot be configured.

Function:

let GetSheet = (path as text, SourceType as text) =>
let
Source = if SourceType = "web" then Excel.Workbook(Web.Contents(path)) else Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(path)),

Yep, same issue here.  source wrapped in a function appears not to be refreshable from the portal.

Hi,

Seems I am running into the same hurdle.

Any advice on how I could modify my query?

let
    // Calculate the Start of the Month, Today then format the date parameter string as YYYYMMDD.
    MonthStart = Date.StartOfMonth(DateTime.LocalNow()),
    MonthStart_YYYYMMDD = Date.ToText(#date(Date.Year(MonthStart), Date.Month(MonthStart), Date.Day(MonthStart)), "yyyyMMdd"),  
    Today_YYYYMMDD = Date.ToText(#date(Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow()), Date.Month(DateTime.LocalNow()), Date.Day(DateTime.LocalNow())),"yyyyMMdd"),
    // Store a list of the User ID's from Harvest (Only include the ID's of the people you need visalised on this data set)
    User_IDS = {"1219708","294662","337056"},
    // Intiate the query
    Data = List.Generate(
    ()=> [Counter = 0],
    each [Counter]<List.Count(User_IDS),
    each [Counter=[Counter] + 1],
    each Json.Document(Binary.Buffer(Web.Contents("https://equipmentmanagementsolutions.harvestapp.com/people/" & Text.From(User_IDS{[Counter]}) & "/entries?from=" & MonthStart_YYYYMMDD & "&to=" & Today_YYYYMMDD  ,[Headers=[#"Authorization" = Harvest_Credentials,#"Content-Type"="application/json",#"Accept"="application/json"]])))

in
    #"Removed Columns2"

Anyone got any suggestions for how to get around this for web queries. My code is above.

This is really going to limit the use I can get out of Power BI if it can't do this!
