How to insert Dynamic parameter to script

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I have a script which fetches up data from an SQL server(particular table). The are plenty of projects on the server, so I want to make the project id "dynamic". 

I have created one dynamic parameter, which is text.

Could you please assist me on how should I insert it to script.

I have  tried "&projectid"(described in attached photo), but I get error that "incorrect syntax near &"

Hi, by parameter i ment a variable part of a query. Just create empty query and in the formula bar enter project id. This query will be your parameter to be used in building sql statement.

Thank you very much. I have just entered parameter as '"&projectid&"'(as you did) and it worked

Hi,

Create query and call it e.g. Project_ID_par

Create query and in the first step create query text by using name of first query as parameter and in the second step connect to the databse and execute query.

let
    Source = "select 8 from table_name wherer project_id='" & Project_ID_par & "'",
    Custom1 = Odbc.Query("dsn=DSNName", Source)
in
    Custom1

Hope this will help.

Hello Artur,

Thanks for your detailed explanation.

If I understood correctly, I have to create 2 queries and 2nd one should point to the first one.

I have tried to create query from "manage parameters => new parameter".

However, the query field is disabled.
