Hi,

 

I have got below errors when i have used multiple APIs using functions, please advise

 

You can't schedule refresh for this dataset because the following data sources currently don't support refresh:

  • Data source for Table

 

Query contains unsupported function. Function name: Web.Contents

 

Source file Link is given below
