"where (select...) " SQL in M / Queryeditor

Hello,

 

I have following issue:

 

Is in M a possibility to wirte a SQL statement with a "under-Select ", e.g. 

 

Select Databasemouse.Animal from Databasemouse
where (Select (Databasemouse.legs + Databasemouse.Arm)>2 from Databasemouse)

 

Databasemouse:

 

AnimalEnemyLegsArm
MouseSnake22
DogLion01

I try it and you could create a sql ;

Select * from Databasemouse
where (Databasemouse.legs + Databasemouse.Arm)>2

@Do5779 Do you want to convert a SQL code to M or just want to use SQL statement to load data into Power Query?

@AntrikshSharma ,

 

thank you for your respone. I only want to execute a SQL statement (advanced editor) with a "where select"-statement and I don't know why it isn't working.

@Do5779 If you are thinking about querying the table of an M code using SQL then that can't be done, if you are trying to query the Database using SQL then what is the error that you are getting?
