Hi rajahreemane, 

You could try to change parameter data type to Text like below

 Or you could define parameter type in M code like below

let GetData=(para1 as text)=>
let
    Source = Sql.Database("servername", "newsql", [Query="select dayt, name  from timeformat  where  dayt= '"&para1&"' "])
in
    Source

    in GetData
