Dynamic date power query parameter/variable based on user selection at Report level

Hi All,

I have a transactional table (Synapse as data source) with Employee Join Date as one of the columns.
Expectation will be that users are able to enter/filter for a key date at the report level, and this date will then be passed back to power query to filter for Employee Join Date that is greater than or equals to the filtered date.
How can I proceed with this?

 

Example as follow:

Full dataset available at Synapse:

Employee IDEmployee Join Date
100116/01/2023
100224/01/2023
100315/02/2023
100415/02/2023
100521/02/2023

 

User enter key date as 01/02/2023, only below rows should be loaded into PBI report

Employee IDEmployee Join Date
100315/02/2023
100415/02/2023
100521/02/2023
