    I think the syntax should be something like...

     

    @concat(
    'select week, value from TableName where week = '
    , variables('Maxweek_')
    )

     

    depending on how you've written your variable, you may need to enclose it in quotes, and the escaping of quotes can be confusing...

     

    @concat(
    'select week, value from TableName where week = '
    , ''''
    , variables('Maxweek_')
    , ''''
    )

     

    So that '''' is surrounding the concat item in '' and then another '' one to escape the other.

    Yeah, you need to use the add dynamic content option for this.
