Bringing an array of data from a table into a custom function

So I want to create some custom charts/graphs in power bi by using svg methods. To do this, I want to create a table that will have one row with a column for each chart which will be a basic html page with an svg in it that will be displayed using html viewer. The easiest way to show this will be to attach the pbix file here.

 

I have dummy data in the query, but I want to be able to pass in data from another table (in this case "Year Prices"). This table has 2 columns (Year and Price) that I want to basically send the entire data set into the function. The values going into the function at the moment are just dummy text fields, but how can I reference all this data from the function? Can I send in the required data as a json string or something somehow? Or can I send in a table name and the 2 column names and access them from within the query?

I now have a table coming in as a table, it was simply to make it:

(tablename as table)=>
let
    source = "Something"
in
    source

 

Updated example here.

 

Now, however, I can't work out how to loop through the table and process the data, started another thread, Could you please look here?
