Executing SQL Server Stored Procedure With User Parameter(s) In Power BI

Hello  @amitchandak

@Anonymous,

 

I have connected power BI with a stored procedure from a SQL Server database. I get results returned when I run the Stored Procedure in SQL Server but when I invoke a function after entering my parameters in Power Query I only get column headers and an empty table.

I have used the following URL resources to get to this point but still no positive results:

I will supply pictures to help bring my issue into context:

 

1. This is my "M" Code:

2. These are the parameters I enter:

3. This is the returned result set in PowerBI after the  function in invoked:

Any help or insight would be appreciated!

 

Thanks!

I'd try removing the spaces between the double quotes and single quotes and I'd doublecheck the data types of the parameters in the stored procedure.

Yes! Data was returned. Thanks You! What is the reason behind the importance of spacing with the quotes?

There was space that ended up being part of the parameter passed to the stored procedure.
