VBA Get Number of records returned by Power Query
Thank you for taking the time to read my question.
I have some VBA that uses Power Query to call an API. Power Query calls the API then massages the JSON into a table which is returned to a table in my Excel file. I get errors when the API returns no data...
Question: How can I check the number of records returned by Power Query?
If I could do this, I could catch the code and avoid certain errors and my code failing. I usually get the error on the last line (.refresh)
I tried ActiveWorkbook.Queryies(QueryName). [nothing here referencing recordcount]
QueryName is a String variable
strQry is a String variable
ActiveWorkbook.Queries.Add Name:=QueryName, Formula:=strQry
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
With ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, Source:= _
"OLEDB;Provider=Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1;Data Source=$Workbook$;Location=" & QueryName & ";Extended Properties=""""" _
, Destination:=Range("$A$1")).QueryTable
.CommandType = xlCmdSql
.CommandText = Array("SELECT * FROM [" & QueryName & "]")
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.ListObject.DisplayName = "TheQuery"
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
