Query Parameters to get all data in Service

Hello everyone. First time trying to set up PowerQuery to bring all the data in Service if the Parameter is empty. First step was to create a List of Projects with the help of the Column that contains all the project names named PROJECT_NAME, then i've created a Parameter this:

Then i've tried to set up the PowerQuery in the AdvancedEditor and it looks like this:
let
Source = Oracle.Database("{Server}[Data],
PBI_METRIC_EVOLUTION_V1 = DB_PRD{[Name="PBI_METRIC_EVOLUTION_V"]}[Data],
FilteredRows = if ProjectName = "" then PBI_METRIC_EVOLUTION_V1 else Table.SelectRows(PBI_METRIC_EVOLUTION_V1, each [PROJECT_NAME] = ProjectName)
in
FilteredRows

Then for testing i've put an empty string locally in EditParemeters and also on Parameter in Service but it filters with nothing, get only an empty Table. Do i miss something, i'm doing something wrong? Thank you

When you refer to Parameters in Power Query, preface them with #:

 #ProjectName

If the parameter contains spaces in the name, wrap it in single quotes:

#"Project Name"

 

Do this: Write your Power Query WITHOUT the parameters. Does it work? Can you post that, plus a sample of what the parameter might contain?
