    Created the ODBC Connection to Google Big Query and configured it per Admin. Added a simple SQL Statement to the ODBC Query in PQ.
    Had already created a parameter table and I brought in Begin_Date as a date parameter in Power Query.
    Opened the advanced editor and edited the SQL String as this:


    Source = Odbc.Query("dsn=GoogleBigQuery", "#standardSQL#(lf)#(lf)select *#(lf)#(lf)from `server.database.table`#(lf)#(lf)where date between '" & Date.ToText(Begin_Date,"YYYY-MM-DD") & "' and '" & Date.ToText( Date.EndOfMonth(Begin_Date),"YYYY-MM-DD") & "'"),

     

    Where Begin_Date is the name of the date parameter coming from the parameter table.

Are you trying to supply lists of values?  You need to distinguish between single item parameters and list type parameters, and modify your SQL accordingly.
