Pass date range in SQL Statement - Power Query

We are migrating away from a system called Chartio that allowed us to pass parameters (filtered date ranges) through to our SQL Statements.  

 

Chartio SQL Statement:

The above Last_30_Days is a control filter which you by default is whatever date range you enter in that filter.  It then passes it through to this above SQL Statement.

 

I am wondering if there is a way to do that in Power Query?

Thank you for any help on this.

@MP-iCONN  answered a similar question here 

 

TLDR You can passs on a values to SQL dynamically lke following

 

SELECT x, y, z FROM myTable WHERE dateColumn < '" &myValue& "

or

let
    Source = Sql.Database("serverName", "dbName", [Query="select * from tbl where dateColumn<'"&Table[C1]{0}&"'"])
in
    Source

But can you use some sort of filter that the user can enter in the report (like a slicer type, date range)?

 

This way the user can select instead of the 30 day default range I put in the query a different date range.

 

Thank you.

@MP-iCONN you can create an excel in a sharepoint location for the user to provide the input for the filter and query that sharepoint excel in your report for that value to filter the sql query.

 

Else you can get all the data from the server and create a dax slicer and letvthe input from the slicer to slice the table.
