Hello,
In PowerBi Advanced Editor, I want to run the sys.tables quuery first to get the table name. Then I want to query that table. Is this possible?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Yes this is possible.
I would suggest modifying your query to include the Schema as well to avoid ambiguity.
Then use the results of the first query as inputs into a second query.
Try this M code in a new Power Query query:
(replace Server and Database values with appropriate values)
let
Server = ".\SQLEXPRESS",
Database = "OwenSandbox",
TableList = Sql.Database(Server, Database, [Query="SELECT tables.name AS table_name#(lf)#(tab),schemas.name AS schema_name#(lf)FROM sys.tables AS tables#(lf)LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.schemas AS schemas ON tables.schema_id = schemas.schema_id#(lf)WHERE create_date = (#(lf)#(tab)#(tab)SELECT Max(create_date) NEWEST_VERSION#(lf)#(tab)#(tab)FROM sys.tables#(lf)#(tab)#(tab)WHERE name LIKE '%AvailabilityStatus%'#(lf)#(tab)#(tab))#(lf)", CreateNavigationProperties=false]),
TableName = TableList[table_name]{0},
SchemaName = TableList[schema_name]{0},
NavigateToTable = Sql.Database(Server, Database){[Schema = SchemaName, Item=TableName]}[Data]
in
NavigateToTable
Regards
It worked perfectly. I have never been so appreciative!!!!! Thank you. Getting this little query to work is saving us from having to build a bunch of other things planned.
