I'm trying to use an excel file (on sharepoint) with a list of Segment IDs as input to a function in a Dataflow (as per in this video).
All works until I get to the stage where I "Invoke Custom Function", and the column returns an error. I don't know enough to decipher the error unfortunately.
let
Source = SharePoint.Files("https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/CentralMarketingTeam", [ApiVersion = 15]),
#"Filtered rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each [Folder Path] = "https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/CentralMarketingTeam/Data Vault/Web Pages and Segments/" and [Name] = "Campaign Web Pages and Segments.xlsx"),
#"Filtered hidden files" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filtered rows", each [Attributes]?[Hidden]? <> true),
#"Invoke custom function" = Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered hidden files", "Transform file", each #"Transform file"([Content])),
#"Renamed columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Invoke custom function", {{"Name", "Source.Name"}}),
#"Removed other columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Renamed columns", {"Source.Name", "Transform file"}),
#"Expanded table column" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed other columns", "Transform file", Table.ColumnNames(#"Transform file"(#"Sample file"))),
#"Changed column type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded table column", {{"Source.Name", type text}, {"Segment Name", type text}, {"Segment ID", type text}, {"Campaign ID", type text}}),
#"Removed columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed column type", {"Source.Name"}),
#"Invoked custom function" = Table.AddColumn(#"Removed columns", "Custom", each GetCampaignSegmentIDs([Segment ID]))
in
#"Invoked custom function"
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @Anonymous
After ensuring that the function is created and called correctly, you also need to check the firewall.
Please refer to this related thread.

Thanks for your help, looks like I didn't have "Organisational" for all my Data Source Credentials. Updating all the credentials to Organisational fixed this.
