Hi Sushil,

 

There might be many ways of solving this requirement. Here is my solution

 

Financials is the name of the query and paramSegment is the parameter name.

Pass the data as well as the parmeter values as input to the Python.Execute function and then you will be able to access them, I am attaching the code for your reference

let
  Source = Excel.Workbook(
    File.Contents(
      <Path>
    ),
    null,
    true
  ),
  financials_Table = Source{[Item = "financials", Kind = "Table"]}[Data],
  #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(
    financials_Table,
    {
      {"Segment", type text},
      {"Country", type text},
      {"Product", type text},
      {"Discount Band", type text},
      {"Units Sold", type number},
      {"Manufacturing Price", Int64.Type},
      {"Sale Price", Int64.Type},
      {"Gross Sales", type number},
      {"Discounts", type number},
      {" Sales", type number},
      {"COGS", type number},
      {"Profit", type number},
      {"Date", type date},
      {"Month Number", Int64.Type},
      {"Month Name", type text},
      {"Year", Int64.Type}
    }
  ),
  GatherParameters = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(
    Table.FromList(
      {[Parameter = "Segment", Value = paramSegment]},
      Splitter.SplitByNothing(),
      null,
      null,
      ExtraValues.Error
    ),
    "Column1",
    {"Parameter", "Value"}
  ),
  PrepareInputforPY = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(
    Table.FromList({[Data = #"Changed Type", Params = GatherParameters]}, Splitter.SplitByNothing()),
    "Column1",
    {"Data", "Params"}
  ),
  #"Run Python script" = Python.Execute(
    "# 'dataset' holds the input data for this script#(lf)# dataset.drop(dataset[dataset['Segment'] == 'Government'].index, inplace=True)#(lf)segment = Params[Params['Parameter'] == 'Segment']['Value'][0]#(lf)dataset.drop(dataset[dataset['Segment'] != segment].index, inplace=True)#(lf)#(lf)",
    [dataset = PrepareInputforPY[Data]{0}, Params = PrepareInputforPY[Params]{0}]
  ),
  dataset = #"Run Python script"{[Name = "dataset"]}[Value]
in
  dataset


Hope this answers your question. If yes then please accept my solution.

Thanks
