Using Data Factory Global Parameter in Power Query

SanderTK — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 13:45:15 GMT

Hi all,

I am working with a Power Query in my ADF pipeline to filter some data from a dataset.

The intention is to set a global parameter and use that parameter inside Power Query to filter the data.

My thoughts are that I would have to incorporate the parameter with the M-query (inside the advanced editor) but I am not entirely sure how to pass that global parameter.

Is this possible and if so how would I pass on this parameter?

I don't think the pipeline can pass the parameter directly into Power Query.

I think you will need to store the "parameter" as a cell value in an external table (or file), and then connect Power Query to that table in order to read the value of the "parameter".
