Query for parameter suggested values (global variable for entire project?)
Hi Anonymous,
You can perform the following steps to populate the parameter list based on a query.
1. Import a table from SQL Server by writing your T-SQL in SQL statement(optional) textbox as shown in the following screenshot.
2. Get a list from the date column in the imported table, you would need to click on the column to select it and then right-click and select “Add as New Query”. Now you have a list named Query 3 whose values are derived from your T-SQL formula.
3.When you create new parameter, you will be able to choose Query 3 as follows.

Thank you for the feedback, still encountering problems. I followed instructions as noted in screenshot below and the Query dropdown box still won't accept values. Is there anything else I'm missing?
Hi Anonymous,
Based on your screenshot, you are missing the step that get a list from the date column in your table. As stated in the blog I have post, To get a list from a column in your table, you need to click on the column to select it and then right-click and select either:- Drill Down
- Add as New Query
After you successfully get a list, you can have a list mark which looks like as follows.
