Filter SQL Query upon Import

Hello all-

 

I have created a custom SQL pull and am importing the data with the SQL Import function. My data source is so large that importing this is taking a long time. I am bringing in All customer information, but then having to use a custom dynamic customer list to filter to a small subset. Is there anyway to automate this on import to reference the other Customer filter upon import?

 

Example below:

 

SQL IMPORT: (All Data)

Customer # // Product // Name

1 // 123  // Joe

2 // 123 // Sam

3 // 123 // Hailie

4 // 123 // Jim

5 // 124 // John

 

Customers Enrolled Today (filter list)

Customer # 

4

6

 

*Net I would only want to pull in  Customers Enrolled in the initial SQL data import.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you

Hi @cgoldstein 

 

your query should be something like this:

Hello @cgoldstein  - 

 

you can create a concatenated string of the customers isd of the Filter table and then pass it to the SQL for the Database query

 

source = Oracle.Database("_SERVER_NAME",

                                               [Query="Select Customer, Product, Name

                                                               From Customers

                                                                WHERE Customer IN (" & CustomersList &")"])

@LivioLanzo 

Sorry I am pretty new at PowerBI in general. How would I create a concatenated string with it in rows? 

@cgoldstein 

 

You select the Customer column from the filter table and then fo to the Transform tab within Power Query and choose 'Convert to list'. Then You wrap the resulting formula with Text.Combine. 

If the Customer ID on your side is text and not an integer then you need to add single quote as a delimiter

 

 

if a number then you do = Text.Combine(#"Changed Type"[Customer], ",")

if text then you do = "'" & Text.Combine(#"Changed Type"[Customer], "','") & "'"

Thank you for your extra detail! I've got it loaded to a wrapped list like your instructions have it.

 

Is the syntax to pass it to the import portion in DAX or SQL? Currently, I'm connected with a SQL Server Database with the SQL Statement loading it in. I tried to add the statement but wasn't getting it to work for me.

 

SQL Script Below-

My Query Name for the filter = TP_Filter_SQL

My List Column = = Text.Combine( #"Removed Columns"[LocationNumber], ",")

I started looking and found the translation from SQL into DAX. When you go to the Query > click into Source on steps and shows up in the top row.

 

In my import, "Location_cd" is "Customer #" I want to filter on.

 

See below:
