Looping source in PowerBI

[dmqeaz]

Hi all,

I'm new to PowerBI, hope to get some help. 

I want to build someting around the json webAPI's of MoySklad. There stored demands with links to their positions, that contains links to products. Link for demand's positions looks like this: 

https://online.moysklad.ru/api/remap/1.1/entity/demand/{id}/positions

for one Demand code looks like this:

let
    Источник = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://online.moysklad.ru/api/remap/1.1/entity/demand/ad760bfb-7b5c-11e3-49fe-002590a28eca/positions")),
    rows = Источник[rows],
    #"Преобразовано в таблицу" = Table.FromList(rows, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
    #"Развернутый элемент Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Преобразовано в таблицу", "Column1", {"meta", "id", "accountId", "quantity", "price", "discount", "vat", "assortment", "overhead"}, {"Column1.meta", "Column1.id", "Column1.accountId", "Column1.quantity", "Column1.price", "Column1.discount", "Column1.vat", "Column1.assortment", "Column1.overhead"}),
    #"Развернутый элемент Column1.assortment" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Развернутый элемент Column1", "Column1.assortment", {"meta"}, {"Column1.assortment.meta"}),
    #"Развернутый элемент Column1.assortment.meta" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Развернутый элемент Column1.assortment", "Column1.assortment.meta", {"href"}, {"Column1.assortment.meta.href"})
in
    #"Развернутый элемент Column1.assortment.meta"

I want to load all the position for all the demands so I can drill down my analysis to products level.

basically i understand, that i need loop my request with demand's IDs, but is Power BI able to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Dmitry

For loop, I guess there's a table containing the ids? If yes, you can try to add custom column as below.

Anyway, for your case, I don't think loop in Power BI is a good idea. For me, I'd loop and save the hanlded result by writing a C# console application(can be scheduled to running in a certain interval) in a csv file or database. The connect to the file or DB in Power BI.

There are links already in this table, but every link gives list of positions of demand in request with id selected.

example:

https://online.moysklad.ru/api/remap/1.1/entity/demand/51a95d05-7901-11e3-9575-002590a28eca/positions

let
    Источник = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://online.moysklad.ru/api/remap/1.1/entity/demand/51a95d05-7901-11e3-9575-002590a28eca/positions")),
    rows = Источник[rows],
    #"Преобразовано в таблицу" = Table.FromList(rows, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
    #"Развернутый элемент Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Преобразовано в таблицу", "Column1", {"meta", "id", "accountId", "quantity", "price", "discount", "vat", "assortment", "overhead"}, {"Column1.meta", "Column1.id", "Column1.accountId", "Column1.quantity", "Column1.price", "Column1.discount", "Column1.vat", "Column1.assortment", "Column1.overhead"})
in
    #"Развернутый элемент Column1"

and it gives me list of postions for  51a95d05-7901-11e3-9575-002590a28eca demand 

I need to load table with list of positions of all demands concatenated like:

for each demand id 

    concatenate

    load https://online.moysklad.ru/api/remap/1.1/entity/demand/{id}/positions

and get single table as a result
