Something like this?

let
    Source = {1..10},
    #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),

    SqlCall = (q as text)=> "Called SQL database with " & q,

    #"Added SqlCall" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "SqlCall", each SqlCall([Custom]))
in

Cheers,

John

Hi jbwtp 

 

Apologises for the delay a couple of issues arose at work which took up my time. If i'm reading your solution correctly we'd still need to know the upper limit of the number of queries, or would it not matter if the range was to 100 with only 50 queries (at that point in time)
