Executing list of sql queries stored in database table

[Anonymous]

Hello Everyone,

I'm looking for an apporach to load data into Power BI from list of SQL queries stored in Postgres database table.

Sr	Query
1	Select ....
2	Select ....
3	Select ....
4	Select ....

Essentially, we need to automate query loading process as list of query will increase/decrease with time & manual addition would not be permanent solution.

Any inputs if this can be achived & appreciate if you can share your experiences.

Hi @Anonymous,

I think you can try to parameterized connection string to achieve two steps getting data operation.

At the first, you can getting data from the SQL table that stored the t-SQL query lists. The second, you can use query parameters to control and pick up specific row values to use them as conditons in a new query step with data connector to getting data.

Do that in a view in your database, or use Incremental Refresh if your query partitions support that.
