Hi all,
Will preface this by admitting I know very little about XML files or APIs. I have an existing PBI model that is built from CSV files. I'd like to change the input from CSV to XML files. I am not able to attach files, so I apologise for that. I've included some screenshots below, hopefully that helps.
My test XML file contains similar data to one CSV file already in the model. I imported the XML file, transformed it to appear the same as the CSV file in Power Query, and then tried to copy/paste the rest of the applied steps from CSV file advanced editor (from the yellow highlighted section onwards) into the XML file advanced editor (after my initial transformation steps), but I just got a syntax error...
Is what I'm doing fundamentally wrong, or is there more likely just a small error I've made?
Any hints or tips would be very much appreciated, I couldn't find anything on changing input to XML file specifically.
Many thanks,
Gill
Solved! Go to Solution.
Unsure if it's the root cause, just to remind that remember to change the #"step name" to prior one.
If not, maybe you could let us know more about the syntax error detail. Thanks.
For example, if you need to paste on
#"Filter Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Renamed Columns2", each ...... from CSV editor
after
#"Renamed Columns7" = Table RenamedColumns(...... in the XML editor
please modify it as:
#"Filter Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Renamed Columns7", each ......
Best Regards,
Joyce
That was it! Thanks Joyce.
I had a few other syntax errors to address but they were fairly simple to find and address.
Thanks again,
Gill
