display months values until value selected in parameter

Hi everyone, 

 

I've got an Excel parameter : 

ageuffrard_0-1657613738279.png

 

I created a parameter in Power Query with the value selected.

 

I want to use this parameter as a filter in a table, but I want the table filtered to the month selected.

If I select 4 (for the month April), I want the table filtered with Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr.

 

How to do that please ?

Thanks for your help, have a good day.

Alexandre

Insert below statement. Replace #"Changed Type" with your previous step and MonthParam with your Parameter name. 

= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each [Month] <= MonthParam)

Make sure MonthParam is created with Decimal number option. If not, you can use Number.From(MonthParam) in above expression.

See the working here - Open a blank query - Home - Advanced Editor - Remove everything from there and paste the below code to test

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Lc7BEQAhCAPAXnj7EI1ganHsv40DPH47YSDniEoTd6PcdmQk6FqYAShQQMCcL1m1hlWwwKZ7wTPZsMIOrJgC88C0l2gPEXhfNTtg9D/LEiSG3PsB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Month = _t, Sales = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Month", Int64.Type}, {"Sales", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each [Month] <= MonthParam)
in
    #"Filtered Rows"

I need to see your table. Whether month column has 1, 2....12 or Jan, Feb...Dec in text?

Hi Vijay,

It's "1, 2, ... 12" as number.
