    Hi Keithr197 

     

    For question 1, it is not suggested to have DROP Table statement in the SQL query. When we import data via Power Query, we are usually to select data from the database rather than drop a table there. Please remove the DROP Table statement from the SQL query. 

     

    For question 2, you can use the query parameter. Here is a video tutorial for your reference: Pass parameter to SQL Queries statement using Power BI | Microsoft Learn
