OData Feed Parameters for Stored Procedure

[gordway]

I would like to be able to run a SQL stored procedure through OData feed data source using a dynamic parameter. For example, I would like to enter a customer number that power BI subsequently refreshes and spits out my stored procedure that has already been set up. 

I have been able to do this in excel using this language in the advanced editor before the API source: 

let
VarCustNum = Number.ToText( Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="VarCustNum"]}[Content]{0}[Column1])

Is it possible to set up a similar call to the odata feed source using Power BI?

Hi @gordway ,

Thank you for the response @v-yingjl !

Is there a way that I can reference a PBI visual (i.e. a text box, dropdown, etc) from within the call to the API? Meaning I can update the visual with the parameter I am looking for and the call to the API will then be triggered executing the stored procedure with new parameter?

Hi @gordway ,

You can create parameters list in power query to quote it in the query dynamically.

Please refer:

1. Using parameters 
2. Use parameters and custom functions to call APIs in Power BI
