Dynamic parameters from SQL Server · Direct Query

Hello,

 

I'm need to do some Dynamic queries with parameters.

 

1.- Power Querty parameter defined as:

fishmind_1-1641387737513.png

 

 

2.- Dynamic table import: dimCountries, pais_id the key field.

 

Power M syntax: 

 

 

let
    idpais = Number.ToText(pais_id),
    tmp_param = Text.Combine({"select * #(lf)from dim_paises #(lf)where pais_id > ", Number.ToText(pais_id)}),
    Source = Sql.Database("sd03053", "MKTPBI", [Query = tmp_param])
in
    Source

3. Table: parameterLink = GENERATESERIES(1,999,1)

 

4. Modelling:

----

 

I need to choose a value from parameterLink table to perform a Direct Query and retreive the rows from dimCountry (pais_id) that are > to that parameter value.

 

Example: if I choose parameterLink = 17 then table must show results only starting from 'Andorra'

The main problem is... that it doesn't work.

 

Thanks!

@Anonymous , As far as I know, Dynamic M parameter is not supported for SQL server
