URL : how to validate question when connecting
- 3 years ago
It is possible to pass a parameter to a URL using Power Query in order to get the information for a specific week. Here is an example of how you can achieve this:
- Open Power Query Editor in Power BI Desktop or Excel.
- In the "Home" tab, click on "From Web" in the "Get Data" section.
- In the "From Web" dialog box, enter the URL "https://maree.info/7" and click "OK".
- In the "Navigator" dialog box, click on "Edit" to open the Power Query Editor.
- In the Power Query Editor, click on "Add Column" in the "Add Column" tab.
- Select "Custom Column" and enter the following formula in the formula bar:
= Web.Contents("https://maree.info/7?d=20230206&accept=1")
Replace "20230206" with the date for the week you want to retrieve information for. The "&accept=1" parameter is added to indicate that the user has accepted the conditions. 7. Click "OK" to create the new column. This will send a request to the URL with the specified parameter and retrieve the information for the specified week.

Hello
I am very sorry as March 06th is a monday as February 06th, I did not noticed that it was still the current week 😠that was displayed and not the 20230206 week
The paramater &accept=1 does not answer the question about the conditions...
Another idea ?
Thanks
Chris
