SQL Syntax Error

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())
