How can I specify a parameter whose values will be taken from a spreadsheet?

Hello

 

I want to maintain a spreadsheet with with some values which I want to feed into the Power Query code in Excel.

 

E.g. a date that I can change in the spreadsheet and it will be cascaded to the queries etc.

 

How can I do that?

 

Thanks!
