Using a paramater value as a table name when connecting to AzureSQL via DirectQuery

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use a parameter value to specify/equal a table name when connecting to an AzureSQL database through DirectQuery - I feel like this is possible, but my knowledge of the query language is not strong enough to do it!

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

@JDLee23,


There is an example for your reference.

1. Create parameter containing different table names in query editor of Power BI Desktop.
