Run SQL Server stored procedure based on parameters

Hi,

I am running sql server stored procedure from Power BI and it does bring back the results when I manually set the parameters.
However it doesn't work when I define power BI parameters and try and use them instead.
Here is what I want to do,
1. Define Power BI parameters
2. Use them in SQL statement such as,

EXEC       [dbo].[Some_Procedure]
            @Date = PowerBIDefinedParameter

thanks.

Here is the code with manually typed variables.

How do I replace them with power BI parameters

for example @ValuationRunId = 0 replaced with Poower BI parameter @ValuationRunId = PowerBIParameter

 

let
    Source = Sql.Database("SERVER", "DATABASE", [Query="#(lf)EXEC#(tab) [dbo].[PROCEDURE]#(lf)#(tab)#(tab)@COBDate = '2017-11-02',#(lf)#(tab)#(tab)@ValuationRunDefintion = 'Official EoD',#(lf)#(tab)#(tab)@ValuationRunId = 0,#(lf)#(tab)#(tab)@IgnoreZeroVolume = 0#(lf)#(lf)"])
in
    Source

 

 

many thanks
