Start and End Date Parameters for SQL statement in Import mode
My IT associate and I recently configured a Direct Query in Power BI that leverages a SQL Function with parameterized Start and End Dates for my Reports. I've received authorization to bypass the SQL Function and execute queries directly from within Power Querys Advanced Editor. Hopfully, I can configure this to operate in import mode as I have more data cleansing operations I need done. I am encountering challenges in locating the appropriate syntax for inserting the date parameters within the advanced editor.
In the first Image I have the Function I currently use.
In the second is the Statement the function uses.
Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciatted!
Sorry for the late reply. Hopefully you managed to figure it out, but if not then you need to go into the Model view, then bind the column to a parameter. Please note that this will only work in you have Direct Query connection. And ONLY Direct Query. If you have a mix of SharePoint, or anything else, it won't be available.

Try without the @
That's how I have it in one of my queries.
edit: Oh, and StartDate and EndDate are separate parameters:

I was able to get the Paramaters to work with the following before the QueryStartDate = Text.From ( StartDateParam ), EndDate = Text.From ( EndDateParam ),& this in it
WHERE (h.Date_Entered_dt >= N'" & @StartDate & "' and h.Date_Entered_dt <= N'" & @EndDate & "' )This is great! How can my Start date and End Date Slicers update those paramaters like they do with the Direct Query?
