ErrorCode=-2146232060, When create M Query with Parameters for DirectQuery mode

Based on the native query (which works totally fine in the DirectQuery mode), I created an M Query to add two parameters, according to the documentation: Dynamic M query parameters in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

 

However, I got an error: 

Ning_pbi_0-1654801050684.png

DataSource.Error: Microsoft SQL: Incorrect syntax near '('.

Details:

    DataSourceKind=SQL

    DataSourcePath=hieeventnotificationserverprod.database.windows.net;HieNotificationMetricsSqlDbStage

    Message=Incorrect syntax near '('.

    ErrorCode=-2146232060

    Number=102

    Class=15

 

Please advise how to solve this.  Thanks a lot!

Hi, @Ning_pbi ;

According to the office document

Sql.Database(server as text, database as text, optional options as nullable record) as table

Check the server is right.

Thank you for your help.   I checked that the server is right, and the database is also right. But the error still exists.
