variable used in multiple queries

[JimiH]

Hello

I have a value 'LocID' that appears in multiple tables in a SQL db I have.

At the moment I have to change the filter value multiple times in my quiries to get the

deired results.

I was hoping all I would need to do was setup a variable that I could change that would link to the different queries but

I cant figure that out.

Regards

In this scenario, you can create that LocID as query parameter.

Import the LocID as a dataset. Select that column and "Add as new query".

It will generate a List with this column.

Create a Parameter with this List. Select "Query" in Suggested Values.

Then you can use this parameter in your Power Query.

Thank you

99% complete ,just failing as to where to insert the parameter in the power query

Parameter is 'LineNumberPar'

Power Query is

let
    Source = Sql.Database("server1", "ProApp"),
    dbo_OEE_FOR_BI = Source{[Schema="dbo",Item="OEE_FOR_BI"]}[Data],
    #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(dbo_OEE_FOR_BI,{{"ShiftDay", Order.Descending}})
in
    #"Sorted Rows"

Also the parameter now enables the selection between values "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9" is there a way to include all these values also?

So this would enable the user to select individual lines or include all lines?

Think I have it

let
    Source = Sql.Database("eu-ske-sql-03", "ANL_ProAss"),
    dbo_OEE_FOR_BI = Source{[Schema="dbo",Item="OEE_FOR_BI"]}[Data],

     #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(dbo_OEE_FOR_BI,{{"ShiftDay", Order.Descending}}),

    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(dbo_OEE_FOR_BI, each [LocId]=LineNumberPar)
in
    #"Filtered Rows"
