using IF in Power query

[moltra_1]

I am trying to run the below M code in Power query,

(ADGroup as text) as list =>

let

    runCount = 1,

    getad = (parent as text) as list =>

            let  

                runCount = runCount + 1,

                childern = fctGetADGroupGroups(parent),

                Ad = List.Combine({{parent}, List.Accumulate(childern, {}, (a , b) =>  List.Combine({a,@getad(b)}))})

            in

            Ad,

            Result =  if runCount < 5 then getad( ADGroup ) else Result

in

   Result

.Without the if statement I am getting the error "Evaluation resulted in a stack overflow and cannot continue.

I am trying to pull up the recursive Active Directory groups.

Hi @moltra_1 ,

It seems that this if statement is controlling the depth of the recursion. Why would you want to remove it?

Try increasing or decreasing the number in the if statement.

I cannot get the IF statement to work.  I am trying to put it in there to control the recursive depth.  I should have been more clear in my initial post.

With the IF statement, I am getting no Syntax errors, but get the following error.  

An error occurred in the ‘’ query. Expression.Error: The name 'Result' wasn't recognized. Make sure it's spelled correctly.
