Invoke Native Table on SQL Query

Hi,

I'm trying to invoke a Power BI table in a SQL Server query. I would like to know if it's possible and if my approach is the most correct:

 

let
    Hierar = Posi,
    Teste = Value.NativeQuery(
        Hierar,
    "WITH CTE (PositionId, ParentPositionID, RootPositionId, lvl)#(lf)AS#(lf)(#(lf)SELECT #(lf)     H.PositionId #(lf)    ,H.ParentPositionID  #(lf)    ,H.PositionId RootPositionId#(lf)    ,1 AS lvl#(lf)FROM  "&Hierar&" H#(lf)UNION ALL#(lf)SELECT #(lf)    H1.PositionId #(lf)   ,H1.ParentPositionID #(lf)   ,CTEO.RootPositionId#(lf)   ,CTEO.lvl + 1 AS lvl#(lf)FROM  CTE CTEO#(lf) INNER JOIN "&Hierar&" H1 ON H1.ParentPositionID = CTEO.PositionId#(lf) SELECT DISTINCT PositionId, RootPositionId, lvl#(lf)    FROM CTE#(lf)    Order by  RootPositionId, lvl")
in
    Teste

 

Error (Hierar = Posi table):

Hi @fcarvalho,

Did you mean to add a new column with SQL connector to get data from SQL database with current table column values as condition in these t-SQL queries?

If that is the case, I think you need to concatenate these t-SQL query with current column values.

 

let
    Hierar = Posi,
    AddColumn = Table.AddColumn(
        Hierar,
        "NewTable",
        each
            Sql.Database(
                "server",
                "database",
                [
                    Query = "Select * From Table where parentpositionid="
                        & [parentpositionid]
                        & " and positionid="
                        & [positionid]
                ]
            )
    )
in
    AddColumn
