Hello - based on your screenshot you can parameterize the database, table and possibly the DNS.
Hello - please try this sample below. You will need to swap out the highlighted text with the names of your actual parameters. If your parameter names don't include special characters/spaces then you don't need to add any other characters, otherwise, you will need to wrap your parameter names like this #"param name". I changed the text before the = sign for the database and table so that they would be applicable in various scenarios. For example, if your parameter gets values from the food database instead flowers, it would be preferable for the name to not include a reference to flowers.
let
Source = Odbc.DataSource("dsn=" & paramDsn, [HierarchicalNavigation=true]),
database = Source{[Name = paramDb, Kind = "Database"]}[Data],
data = database{[Name = paramTable, Kind = "Table"]}[Data]
