    Hi Anonymous ,

    Try not to use variable in your SQL statement. It will not prompt out any window for input value for variables. In this scenario, you can use Query Parameter in the generated Power Query ( just go to "Advanced Editor" in Query Editor).

    For more details, see: Deep Dive into Query Parameters and Power BI Templates
