Use parameter (defined in power query) in calculated dax column?

Hello there.

I have defined a parameter FinancialYear_Start_Period in power query editor. I would like to use this parameter in a calcuated dax column. Is it possible?

Thank you, Michelle

You could load that parameter into a table, that way you will able to refer to that:

 

// Parameter1
10 meta [IsParameterQuery=true, Type="Number", IsParameterQueryRequired=true]

// ParamTable
let
    Source = Parameter1,
    #"Converted to Table" = #table(1, {{Source}}),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Converted to Table",{{"Column1", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"Column1", "Parameter"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

Hi @michellepace ,

 

Unless you load the parameters into the data model.

Right click the parameter in 'Edit Query' -> Check the ‘Enable load’ option.
