Hi
Front end web application we have start and end date values providing statically through back end postgresql . When we connect to direct query to power bi, static dates should be kept in dynamic dates. How to do it?
Requirement:
1. created postgresql function
create function get_item(id int, startdate date, enddate date)
Returns table( ......) as
Begin
--------
end
2. execute function
select * from get_item(123, '20-12-2017', '25-12-2017')
same executed function copied and paste it in power bi statically, its working fine.
when we pass dynamic dates, it is throughing an error.
Data source error: columns "id" does not exist
can you please assit it?
Thanks

There is a similar video about SQL Server database may help you.
