Hi MRZ,

I made a test to call stored procedure with parameters in Power BI Desktop. You can review the following example to apply it to your scenario.

In SQL Server, I create a procedure named p4test in test database of v-kaxion2015tes\sql2016tabular server.

Create PROC p4test @sdate date,@edate date
AS
BEGIN
SELECT @sdate StartDate, @edate Enddate
END


1. In Query Editor of Power BI Desktop, click "New source"> "SQL Server", enter server name, database name and statement "exec p4test '8/11/2016', '8/12/2016'", click ok.

2. Right click on that query on the left panel and select Advanced Editor, and paste the below code.

let
    SQLSource = (param1 as date, param2 as date) =>
let  
    Source = Sql.Database("v-kaxion2015tes\sql2016tabular", "test", [Query="exec p4test '"& Date.ToText(param1) & "','" & Date.ToText(param2)&"' #(lf)#(lf)#(lf) #(lf)"])
in
    Source
in
    SQLSource

3.Click “Invoke” button and enter parameter values as shown in the following screenshot.



Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

Hi All,

 

Can any one Plz help me out ,

 

Is it possible to get the Invoke function , like as a parameter in desktop to pass i/p value as a parameter to my direct query (SP) .

 

Based on that i/p value my data has to be refreshed or updated . 

 

Is it possible to desible  the "Refresh data" or "Edit Permission" warnings messages always .

 

Thanks

        Hi Sven, just dont add the "Text.ToText" part. it's already text.

         

        for example:

         

        let
    SQLSource = (param1 as text, param2 as date) =>
let  
    Source = Sql.Database("MyServer", "MyDatabase", [Query="exec [MyDatabase].[dbo].[myProc] '"& param1 & "','" & Date.ToText(param2)&"'"])
in
    Source
in
    SQLSource

         I hope this helps.
