Use a variable in SQL odbc query - possible?

[michellepace]

Hi there,

I have several tables where I have to contrain the selection of data to being >= 2018-01-01. Is there a way to set this value in a variable so that I can reference it from all my queries rather?

Hi @michellepace 

Please follow the guide from amitchandak.

Generally speaking, clicking "ok" for your setting as the screenshot shown, then create a parameter in power query, open advanced editor, replace the "datefrompart(**)" with your parameter name.

Best Regards

Maggie
