Why do I receive a 'ORA-00936: missing expression' with the query below?
I'm new to PBI. I have a parameter P_AIDYEAR but I can't seem to determine
how to use that parameter in a query. I think I'm subposed to call it like this @P_AIDYEAR
but that doesn't work. Suggestions?
select distinct
RPRATRM_FUND_CODE
from FAISMGR.RFRBASE RFRBASE,
FAISMGR.RPRATRM RPRATRM
where RFRBASE.RFRBASE_FUND_CODE = RPRATRM.RPRATRM_FUND_CODE
and @P_AIDYEAR = RPRATRM.RPRATRM_AIDY_CODE
order by RPRATRM_FUND_CODE
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thank you for your reply. I was able to resolve the issue. I was using @ and should have been using :
example: when referencing my parameter in the query I should have :P_AIDYEAR instead of @P_AIDYEAR
Thanks!

Where does that parameter come from? Is it defined in Power Query? Is it a text value or a number?
