Hi,
I'm accessing some XML data via Web Query, and I have a problem with the question mark in my URL.
The following expression works pretty fine:
let
Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://play.dhis2.org/2.28/api/categoryOptionCombos.xml"))
in
Source
However this one:
let
Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://play.dhis2.org/2.28/api/categoryOptionCombos?pageSize=225.xml"))
in
Source
is returning the error:
DataFormat.Error: Xml processing failed. Either the input is invalid or it isn't supported. (Internal error: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.)
Details:
Binary
Both URLs are valid and they work outside Power BI.
Any ideas how can I have my problem solved?
Best regards,
Miszel
