Hi all,
New user of PowerBI and OData queries and am struggling to use a list of returned values from one OData query as a condition in another.
The below OData query will return the top 100 records where the RuleID = 4:
<sourceURL>webAPI/Odata/v1/GetLatestExecutionResults(RuleId=@RuleId,EnvironmentId=@EnvironmentId,TopCount=@TopCount)?@RuleId=4&@EnvironmentId=1&@TopCount=100
However, there is a dynamic list of RuleIds and I require the top 100 records for each number of the list (as one output)
I have this query to create a list of values
<sourceURL>webAPI/Odata/v1/Rules?$select=RuleId&$filter=RuleReportPropertyLink/any(link:(link/ReportProperty/Name eq 'PropertyFilter'
This returns a list of 1,2,3,4,5,8,9,11,14,29
Essentially, I want to use the numbers returned in the second query to replace the red number 4 in the first query.
Apologies if this is poorly phrased, first time posting.
Thanks in advance
Here's one way to do it in the query editor. To see how it works, just create a blank query, open the Advanced Editor and replace the text there with the M code below. This starts with your list and shows how to convert it to a table, rename the column, convert it to type text, and then concatenate the value into your web call.
let
Source = {1,2,3,4,5,8,9,11,14,29},
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Converted to Table",{{"Column1", "RuleID"}}),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns",{{"RuleID", type text}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Web.Contents("<sourceURL>webAPI/Odata/v1/GetLatestExecutionResults(RuleId=@RuleId,EnvironmentId=@EnvironmentId,TopCount=@TopCount)?@RuleId=" & [RuleID] & "&@EnvironmentId=1&@TopCount=100"))
in
#"Added Custom"

Hey Pat,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, really appreciate it!
I have been able to run your query and it indeed returns a list with an additional column, which is a great start. I was hoping that I would be able to "loop" the the below query using each of the rows returned in the list in place of the red 4
<sourceURL>webAPI/Odata/v1/GetLatestExecutionResults(RuleId=@RuleId,EnvironmentId=@EnvironmentId,TopCount=@TopCount)?@RuleId=4&@EnvironmentId=1&@TopCount=100
This would then give me a table of results for the top 100 of each of the rules in that list. Is this a case of defining what information I would like returned from the "GetLatestExecutionResults" query or is another approach required?
Thanks again, amazing stuff.
