How to make a parameter be today's date
I have created two parameters:
StartDateParam = 1/1/2022
EndDateParam = 3/5/2024
I have the following M code to pull in a stored procedure into Power BI:
let
StartDate = Text.From ( StartDateParam ),
EndDate = Text.From ( EndDateParam ),
Source = Sql.Database("S-DB2-VMC\VERSOVA_PROCDATA", "EggProcPlant_Test",
[Query="EXECUTE [dbo].[sp_Gp_GrdEggSalesComb]#(lf) @Startd = '" & StartDate & "'#(lf) , @Endd = '" & EndDate & "'"])
in
Source
Works great...however, I would like to have the EndDateParam always use today's date so I don't have to manually update the parameter each time. How would I do that?
i dont get, why you want to put it in the current value .
i meant go to advanced edior
and change the m code for the following line .

How do I put that formula into the Parameter editor? I tried the attached screenshot, but it did not work (produced the error above)
