Hi PowerrrBrrr 

Not sure I completely understood your issue. But I think in Power Query you just have to merge the two queries by the id and then expand the column you want and finally do your calculation. In Power Query to do calculations you need to have the data in the same query.

Please accept it as a solution if it solved your issue

    Not sure I understand your solution but thats maybe you didnt get my question. So here I go again:

    I have a table with something like this:

    Idnamevalue
    1aaaohcsjachacaxalkcjalkjcxax
    2wwwsackljdadmcmansciajcackjhacs

     

    And I have a Parameter where the Parameters are defined on the as Query type with Ids from above table. So when I open my file I get parameter to select the "Id" from a drop down and based on Id value the report gets filtered. And I also have a power Query in my model which needs [Value] column to be passed. And Now Thats my question that how can I send the [Value] to my power query based on the Id selected as a parameter.
