Power Query - Accessing Cell Value to Power Query

I have this below line of code. I have made a table with the name DateInput and it has column Date 

 

Source = Sql.Database("-----", "---", [Query="select * FROM --- WHERE WeekEnd = 'Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="DateInput"]}[Content][Date]{0}'"]),

 

It's showing the error as Toek Comma Expected. While clicking on error it's highlighting DateInput

Since the item is a date type, you would need to wrap Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="DateInput"]}[Content][Date]{0} inside a Text.From

that is:

Text.From(Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="DateInput"]}[Content][Date]{0})

Try this:

Source = Sql.Database("-----", "---", [Query="select * FROM --- WHERE WeekEnd = '" & Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="DateInput"]}[Content][Date]{0} & "'"]),
