Power Query Declare

Hello all, 

 

I know this has been asked and i attempted to fix however i can not for the life of me figure out how to have a dynamic date DECLARE in my sql and transfer that to the power query. This is a live connection with direct query and i can not create views as i do not own the db. 

 

The query (works in sql and populates in preview)

 
 
DECLARE @today DATE =GETDATE()
DECLARE @yest DATE = CAST(GETDATE() -1 AS date);
select *
from dbo.CDRMAIN
where CAST([LocalDay] as varcharBETWEEN @yest and @today 
and [TargetWGNum] = 381
 
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi @cking2019 , 

You could use below query directly in powerbi like below

select *
from dt
where d BETWEEN CAST(GETDATE() -1 AS date) and GETDATE()

Or you also could refer to Pass parameter to SQL Queries statement using Power BI  for details.
