Can you return a measure to Power Query from Power BI
Hi Rae2023
This is not possible. Power Query is a one-way-street to load data fro, several data sources into Power BI Desktop. As soon as the data are in the Desktop data model or in the Report you can not bring them back to Power Query.
What might help you is to create a manual table in Power Query which you then use to influence the Queries in Power Query or to maintain the parameters directky in Power Query. The other option is to still maintain your parameters in Excel and load them into Power Query for Power BI Desktop.
Best regards
Michael

Thanks Michael, I've been trying for weeks to find a solution online.
Wish I'd posted up the question earlier.
Thank you for the suggestions, I'll look into both options.
