Ok, about to check myself into a ward.
Anyone had success with this? I've already developed a function in Kusto that takes the two variables; one string, one date.
The parameters come from a user.
Calling it from PQ is funky, imo. Funky in that it seems impossible.
let pinteresting = interesting,
peventdate = "datetime([eventdate])",
stringqry= "EventsParsed_FN([pinteresting],[peventdate])"
Source = AzureDataExplorer.Contents("https://<my>.westus2.kusto.windows.net", "<myDB>", stringqry, [MaxRows=null, MaxSize=null, NoTruncate=null, AdditionalSetStatements=null])

I developed a solution that takes SharePoint form inputs as variables which are then used in the query and are part of a flow. Works well, plus has the documentation of the request built in. It auto-emails the results of the query to the requestor and updates the SharePoint entry. The main advantage is the entire tool is packaged as self-service and the users love it.
What is interesting referencing? Is that some other query you have written? Is that supposed to be text?
What is "datetime([eventdate])" referencing. That is just text. What does the final outneed need to look like for stringqry and some example parameters? Is it upposed to to be text and date as a number?
let pinteresting = "interesting",
peventdate = #date(2023,1,1), // or #datetime(yyyy,m,d,h,m,s) or #Date.FromText("1/1/2023")
stringqry= "EventsParsed_FN(" & pinteresting & "," & Number.From(peventdate) & ")",
Source = AzureDataExplorer.Contents("https://<my>.westus2.kusto.windows.net", "<myDB>", stringqry, [MaxRows=null, MaxSize=null, NoTruncate=null, AdditionalSetStatements=null])

'Interesting' references a string variable that needs to come from the user. I have a Power Automate flow that will request the user input but have no examples on how to use it in Power Bi.
'eventdate' is also from user.

Please tell me this is possible.
