		Content=Text.ToBinary("{""query"": ""query { boards(ids: " & Board & ") { items_page(limit: 500) { items { name, updated_at, group { title }, columns: column_values { column { title }, text, ...on DependencyValue { display_value }, ...on MirrorValue { display_value }, ...on BoardRelationValue { display_value } } } } } }""}")
	]
	),
	Data = Table.FromList(Json.Document(Source)[data][boards]{0}[items_page][items], Record.FieldValues, {"Title", "UpdatedAt", "Group", "Columns"}),
	#"Monday" = Table.FromRecords(Table.TransformRows(Data, each 
		List.Accumulate([Columns], [
			Title = [Title],
			UpdateDate = [UpdatedAt],
			Group = [Group][title]
		], (state, current) => Record.AddField(
			state, current[column][title],

	))
in
	#"Monday"

worked perfectly <3

Hi, has anyone figured out how to extract more than 500 items?

@Guichaguri- great M code.
How can I edit the code, to pre-exclude an unwanted column?
(the code does not run as an error keeps showing regading this unwanted column)

How can this code be updated to account for expiring cursors? I've been using this for about a month but now am getting the following error, and I can't figure out how to fix it: error_message=CursorExpiredError: The cursor provided for pagination has expired. Please refresh your query and obtain a new cursor to continue fetching items

Hello @Guichaguri I'd like to know what the source of this error is? I tried this with a test board and it works but when I incorporated the actual board, I get this error.

@rhiannec It is because you do not have access to that board.

Anyone having same issue with credentials? Suggestions on the settings?

@user1010101010101 yes me too! Would love to know how to get around this.

@stevenromanous @user1010101010101 Try using https://api/monday.com/v2 instead. It should show in the dropdown.

@Thehammer53 nice works now, thanks a million!

@Thehammer53

Thanks, but I had te regenerate the API token! Thanks for your reply anyway!

Does anyone else have the issue of some columns not getting pulling through? Apparently formula columns do not work with the API...

@stevenromanous monday.com’s API documentation says that formula Columns are not supported with their API. Monday’s formulas suck anyways. Just create calculated columns

@Thehammer53 but the formulated columns in this one Monday board I have connected to Power BI, is picking up data from other Monday.com boards. Do u foresee a workaround here?

@stevenromanous mirroring the columns might work but you could just create multiple tables in your power BI and create relations between them and then use a calculated column

The thing with creating multiple tables is Power BI is that, I would need to constantly go in there and create new tables for new Monday.com projects. Not sustainable

I will try mirroring columns to see if that works, thanks for your guidance!

This really works, but, how can I use the code to extract subitens?

How can I extract more than 500 items and extract the subitems too??

Hi, is anyone having the same problem with credentials? Do you have any suggestions to solve the problem?

Hello everybody,
I use this queries to extract all my items and subitems data.
Now I want to extract all board activity log data.
I know that we must query the board for "activity_logs" instead of "items". Does anyone already made it and set up the function for this?
Thanks in advance.
KR.
