    Hi EricParvin,

     

     

    Define your parameter as datetime in the dataflow, not text, if that’s how it’s used in M.

    If you must use text, manually cast it to a datetime inside Power Query using DateTimeZone.FromText() or DateTime.FromText()

     

     

    If your DateField is just datetime, strip the timezone from the parameter. This keeps the DateField type as datetime, and converts the parameter to match:

    try below query i tried to repro:

     

    let
    Source = Table.FromRecords({
    [ID = 1, DateField = #datetime(2025, 05, 21, 12, 0, 0)],
    [ID = 2, DateField = #datetime(2025, 05, 21, 14, 0, 0)]
    }),
    DateTimeParsed = DateTime.From(DateTimeZone.FromText(DateTimeParam)),
    Filtered = Table.SelectRows(Source, each [DateField] > DateTimeParsed)
    in
    Filtered
