Convert power query table to a single line list

Hi,
I have a table in power query that I want to convert into a SINGLE line list so I can use it as a parameter.  I want to use the parameter in an "in" clause in a SQL statement.

Here is the example table

Table
Cow
Chicken
Dog
Cat
Bird

 

Desired Single line list
'Cow','Chicken','Dog','Cat','Bird'

Hi Ahmedx,

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I was able to follow them through. The only issue is that the result is a string, not a list. I am unable to create a parameter from the result. Do you know how to convert the string to a single-line list? All of the transformation options are grayed out for the result.
