Hi all,
I am new to power query. I want the end user to select a value from dropdown when the custom function is invoked. And based on the selected value the internal implementation will be handled.
Example, The user has to select a month when invoking the custom function. With the selected month(text), the dataset has to be fetched.
Thanks in advance,
Poorna.
Hi @poornayes ,
I would suggest you try parameters to filter data.

Hi,
The dropdown which i asked is to construct the web url to get the web content. Based on the dropdown input, the url will be constructed.
I hope the parameters is for filtering after the web content is received.
Thanks,
Poorna.
