How to pass the date parameters in PQ Query?

I have created my date table dynamically using M and it spans 2 years back and 2 years forward.

I have a step in my query that creates a calculated column to identify all dates for the current fiscal year:

 

FYTD: if ([Calendar Date] > #date(2016, 3, 31) and [Calendar Date] < #date(2017, 4, 1)) then "FYTD" else null).

 

This is great, but I really don't want to set something up that is not on auto pilot. As a result, I have created 2 parameters, "CurrentFiscalStartDate" and "CurrentFiscalEndDate". (YAY!) 

 

I was not able to find documentation on this but feel this should be fairly easy for all you experienced gurus.

I would like to pass these 2 parameters in the above FYTD statement instead of using the static #date(2016...) dates. 

 

Can someone please help me on this ? I will definitely leave a solution point for you for those who come forward and try :)

  • sdmikejr Click on Advaned Editor for the query for FYTD and pass parameter you've created as below. I think there shouldn't be any issue in passing date parameter as long as your parameter type is date.

      Hi Ankit,

       

      Your answer perfeclty works fine when we pass single value in a parameter. 

       

      I was trying to pass multiple values through parameter but getting an error. I tried 'in' instead of '=' but no luck.  Could you help me how to pass mutilple values in a parameter please?

       

      Thanks
