Hi,
I insert parameters from excel cell to the SQL procedure by Power Query.
Outputs are Sql tables.
All works good, but It seems that PowerQuery called SQL procedure more than once. I have two sometimes tree redundant outputs in tables insted of one, if I call procedure by Power Query.
Do you anybody know why? Can anybody advise me, how to write it better?
Code:
Spolupracovnik = excel table with cell with parametr for Sql procedure
VZOK.VZOK = name of procedure
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Spolupracovnik"]}[Content],
Spolupracc = Number.ToText(Source{0}[Column1]),
query = "exec VZOK.VZOK '"& Spolupracc &"' ",
target = Sql.Database("XXX_server number", "XXX_database name", [Query=query])
in
target
Thank you,
Honza

DO NOT DO THAT. Power Query is not a tool to write back into your data source!
