DECLARE statement in PBI using DirectQuery
Hi,
I'm using a direct query SQL in PBI. While using a DECLARE statement, it throws an error
Incorrect syntax near the keyqord 'DECLARE'. Incorrect syntax near ')'
My SQL statement is as follows:
DECLARE @effect_date as date;
Set @effect_date= (select distinct effective_date from in.input_table)
select * from abc
join ....
group by....
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Anonymous , This you can use as sub query, Try that way
select * from abc
join ....
where date in (select distinct effective_date from in.input_table)
group by....
Anonymous can you try this
DECLARE @effect_date date= (select distinct effective_date from in.input_table)
select * from abc
join ....
group by....
Hey if anyone still looking for solution try to change your query , use cte instead of declare .
using declare :
DECLARE @effect_date as date;
Set @effect_date= (select distinct effective_date from in.input_table)select * from abc
join ....
group by....
using cte:
WITH date AS (
SELECT
distinct effective_date from in.input_table AS effect_date)SELECT * FROM date
hope it helps
