Web.Contents with dynamic date query
- 5 years ago
Hi Anonymous
You can create a list with below codes to get the date of last monday dynamically. I name this query as DateOfLastMonday.
let Source = Date.ToText(Date.From(Date.AddDays(Date.StartOfWeek(DateTime.LocalNow(),Day.Monday),-7)),"dd/MM/yyyy"), #"Converted to List" = {Source} in #"Converted to List"Then create a query parameter with above list. I name it as Parameter_lastMonday.
"22/03/2021" meta [IsParameterQuery=true, ExpressionIdentifier=DateOfLastMonday, Type="Text", IsParameterQueryRequired=true]At last, use the parameter to replace the fixed date string in your original query.
let AuthKey = "removed", LimitUsed = Number.ToText(Limit), reportPath = Text.Combine({"/datasets/37/feedback?limit=",LimitUsed}), Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("removed", [Headers=[#"content-type"="application/json", #"x-auth-token"=AuthKey], RelativePath = reportPath, Query = [date_from = Parameter_lastMonday]]))You can refer to this post for how to create the list and parameter.

Hello Anonymous ,
I'm not sure about your datasource and all the options, but, please, have a look at this article: Only Get the Last Few Periods of Data into Power BI using Power Query Filtering.
It's describing the process of filtering the data table BEFORE loading it into the memory.
