    Hi Balaji,

     

    Refer the below code to get the parameter value dynamically by retreiving from a SQL Database. 

    V_Access_Token = Sql.Database("your_server_url", "your_database", [Query="Select MAX(Column) as Value from Table;"]){0}[Value]

     

    Please accept this as a solution if this resolves your issue.

     

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Thanks for the solution Jai-Rathinavel  and PhilipTreacy  offered, and i want to offer some more information for user to refer to.

    hello balaji_it02 , If you have a date column in your accesstoken table, you can filter for the most recent token and apply it. e.g

     

    let
        Source = Sql.Database(yourserver, yourdatabasename, [Query="SELECT *FROM [table] where [CreatedDate]=(select max([CreatedDate]) from [table])""]),
        AccessTokens = Source[AccessToken]{0}
    in
        AccessTokens

     

    Best Regards!
