Hi PBI Community,
I have created a SQL Function which is saved in SQL DataBase. Now, I would like to use this SQL function to retreive the data via PowerBI. But, in order to use the function I need to pass a date and time. How can I pass a date&time dynamically to import the data. My plan is to pass a date via a slicer or a text box(whichever works). This date&time will be passed by the end user and will change depending on the user requirement.
The syntax to call the SQL function is:
Select * from dbo.sample('11/06/2023 2:53:00')
I would like to have pass this date&time dynamically by the end user who uses the dashboard. Depending on the date&time passed, the query should run and retreive the data accordingly from the database.
Thank you,
Pradeep
@prad001 you cannot pass dynamic parameters when using import, only possible using the direct query as outlined in the document.

@parry2k - Thank you for your response.
But, I still could not get the answer to my question. I would like to import data using SQL function. And the end user should be able to determine/pass the parameter.
Select * from dbo.sample('11/06/2023 2:53:00')
In the above query, the date and time should be passed by the end user who uses the dashboard.
How can I implement this?
Thanks.,
Pradeep
