HI Everyone,

i want to filter out few things here

1. for reporting period <=2026-03 i should show all data

2. for reporting period >= 2026-04, for ssid - kunshan and takahama i should exclude few countries and for remaining SSID i should show all countires

Native SQL query for Power BI

Hi @BalajiBuddha,

If your database is sql server try the below query,

SELECT *

FROM YourTable

WHERE

CONVERT(DATE, ReportingPeriod + '-01') <= '2026-03-01'

OR

(

CONVERT(DATE, ReportingPeriod + '-01') >= '2026-04-01'

AND

(

SSID IN ('Kunshan', 'Takahama')

AND Country NOT IN ('Country1', 'Country2')

)

OR

SSID NOT IN ('Kunshan', 'Takahama')

)

Thanks and Regards

Hi @BalajiBuddha
Hi,
There are two approaches you can use — pick whichever fits your setup better:
Option 1: Native SQL Query inside Power BI Advanced Editor
Pass the full SQL logic directly in M code so the filtering happens at the source before data loads into Power BI:

let
    SqlQuery =
        "SELECT *
        FROM ""your_schema"".""your_table""
        WHERE
            reporting_period <= '2026-03'
            OR
            (
                reporting_period >= '2026-04'
                AND (
                    (
                        ssid IN ('Kunshan', 'Takahama')
                        AND country NOT IN ('Country1', 'Country2', 'Country3')
                    )
                    OR ssid NOT IN ('Kunshan', 'Takahama')
                )
            )",

    Source = Snowflake.Databases("your_server","your_warehouse"),
    DB = Source{[Name="your_database"]}[Data],
    Schema = DB{[Name="your_schema"]}[Data],
    Result = Value.NativeQuery(Schema, SqlQuery)

in
    Result

Option 2: Create a View in Snowflake (Recommended if you have access)
This way every report using this dataset inherits the rules automatically with no changes needed in Power BI:
