Iam trying to run a power bi Direct query from SQL. I have the correct databse and server in but when i run a direct query i get a syntax result. Import works fine, but i need a direct report for refresh.
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @StartDate DateTime
DECLARE @EndDate DateTime
SET @StartDate = DateAdd(hh,-24,GetDate())
SET @EndDate = GetDate()
SET NOCOUNT OFF
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT DateTime, Value, vValue, StartDateTime
FROM History
WHERE History.TagName IN ('CityWaterActualFlow')
AND wwRetrievalMode = 'Cyclic'
AND wwCycleCount = 100
AND wwVersion = 'Latest'
AND DateTime >= @StartDate
AND DateTime <= @EndDate) temp WHERE temp.StartDateTime >= @StartDate
Not sure what im doing wrong here or whats wrong with my SQL syntax.
Thanks,
This SQL statement has lots of room for improvement.
SELECT DateTime, Value, vValue, StartDateTime
FROM History
WHERE TagName = 'CityWaterActualFlow'
AND wwRetrievalMode = 'Cyclic'
AND wwCycleCount = 100
AND wwVersion = 'Latest'
AND DateTime between DateAdd(d,-1,GetDate()) and GetDate()
AND StartDateTime >= DateAdd(d,-1,GetDate())
