Hi, my solution works great in Power BI desktop but I'm having an issue in the service. Can anybody help?

(VarURL as text)=>
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(VarURL)),
#"Converted to table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to table", "Column1", {"fld_uid", "fld_nodeid", "fld_id", "fld_date_raised", "fld_originator", "fld_organisation", "fld_type", "fld_zone", "fld_level", "fld_apt_number", "fld_area", "fld_description", "fld_assigned_to_org", "fld_assigned_to", "fld_target_date", "fld_date_closed", "fld_timestamp", "fld_deletetime"}, {"fld_uid", "fld_nodeid", "fld_id", "fld_date_raised", "fld_originator", "fld_organisation", "fld_type", "fld_zone", "fld_level", "fld_apt_number", "fld_area", "fld_description", "fld_assigned_to_org", "fld_assigned_to", "fld_target_date", "fld_date_closed", "fld_timestamp", "fld_deletetime"}),
#"Renamed columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Expanded Column1", {{"fld_zone", "Location 1"}, {"fld_level", "Location 2"}, {"fld_area", "Location 3"}, {"fld_apt_number", "Unit"}})
in
#"Renamed columns"

let
Source = #"Inspections Json URLs",
#"Invoked Custom Function" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Json", each #"Inspections Function"([Json URL])),
#"Expanded Json" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Invoked Custom Function", "Json", {"fld_uid", "fld_nodeid", "fld_id", "fld_date_raised", "fld_originator", "fld_organisation", "fld_type", "Location 1", "Location 2", "Unit", "Location 3", "fld_description", "fld_assigned_to_org", "fld_assigned_to", "fld_target_date", "fld_date_closed", "fld_timestamp", "fld_deletetime"}, {"fld_uid", "fld_nodeid", "fld_id", "fld_date_raised", "fld_originator", "fld_organisation", "fld_type", "Location 1", "Location 2", "Unit", "Location 3", "fld_description", "fld_assigned_to_org", "fld_assigned_to", "fld_target_date", "fld_date_closed", "fld_timestamp", "fld_deletetime"}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded Json",{"Json URL"}),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Columns",{{"fld_date_raised", type datetime}, {"fld_target_date", type datetime}, {"fld_date_closed", type datetime}, {"fld_timestamp", type datetime}, {"fld_deletetime", type datetime}}),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Changed Type",{{"fld_date_raised", type date}, {"fld_target_date", type date}, {"fld_date_closed", type date}, {"fld_deletetime", type date}})
in
#"Changed Type1"
