Hello&nbsp;Anonymous&nbsp;, thanks for prompt reply.&nbsp;The approach you proposed is used Power Query functionality to create the Parameters.I would like to create the Parameter within Custom Data Connector (writing M expressions in Visual Studio)

Thank you&nbsp;amitchandak&nbsp;for the links.They were useful while I was learning what is Custom Connector and how to use it. These links show how to create Tables and Functions and nothing about Parameters.It looks like it is not possible for now ((
