Passing Parameter from PowerBI Table to SQL Query

I have a SQL query with two parameters that I'd like to pass by using slicer that uses a lookup table in PowerBI that I manually update/maintain.

[Query="Select * #(If) FROM dbo.DataTable #(If) WHERE TapeDate =@StartDate AND VersionID = @VerID] 

 

Lookup Table that I manually maintain and update every month with the correct Start Date and Version ID:

MonthEndStartDateVerID
JAN-202401/31/20248
FEB-202402/15/20242
MAR-202403/22/20245

 

Using a Slicer, I would like to be able to select a "MonthEnd" date and have it automatically pass the corresponding "StartDate" and "VerID" to my SQL query.

@Anonymous  It seems like there aren't any solutions for this, correct?  Is this a widely known limitation for PowerBI?

Hi @dashmarley11 ,

 

Can you provide some screenshot information and describe it?

I have this SQL query and would like to pass date parameters to the query, using a date slicer.  

Every month there will be a "final" Version ID that I will need to manually enter into some type of lookup table.  Possibly something like this:

2024-07-05_dates.png

 

 

 

 

Using a date slicer, I would like to be able to select a "MonthEnd" date that would then pull in the corresponding "StartDate" and "VerID" and pass those parameters to the SQL query, that would then render results.  

For example, If I were to select "JAN-2024" in the date slicer, then my query should render results where the "TapeDate= @StartDate(12-31-2023) and VersionID = @VerID(6)"
