Native SQL Query support

Hi There,
I have a situation with a native query in power bi desktop. The developer wrote a native query to fetch a specific table, but I need the table name to be dynamic. This way, when the environment changes from UAT to Production, the query will fetch data from appropriate environment table. This issue is preventing me from deploying from UAT to production.
Thanks!

Hi @connectmukesh1 ,
Thanks for his reply. Here is what I need to add, first create a new parameter in power query. Then open the advanced editor and call the parameter

let
    Environment = if Parameters[Environment] = "UAT" then "UAT_TableName" else "Prod_TableName",
    Source = Sql.Database("ServerName", "DatabaseName", [Query="SELECT * FROM " & Environment])
in
    Source

@connectmukesh1 Create a Parameter. You can then use that Parameter in your SQL query. You can use the & concatenation operator.
