passing parameter to sql query

Hi,

I would like to pass a parameter directly to the sql query. Or is this possible or only in M?

I prefer for further editing the native sql statement.

 

Thanx for any suggestions!

    Hi Arnoh,

    As I know, you could achieve this by  M query.

    You could try to write hard code in query like below “select *  from test where name=’a’”, then create a parameter

    Then apply this parameter to query , you need to edit query like below

    let
    
        Source = Sql.Database("servername", "newsql", [Query="select *  from test#(lf)where name ='"&namep&"'"])
    
    in
    
        Source

    The you could change value in parameter and run the query. You could refer to Pass parameter to SQL Queries statement using Power BI for details

        Hi Arnoh,

        As I know, if you use this in native query, I think  it("&namep&") might not be recognized by SQL.
