Power BI advaced query Editor

good morning

 

I am searching if it possible to use variables, in the advanced query editor, something like this:

 

instead of:

------------

 

let
Origine = Sql.Database("99.99.99.99", "Mydb", [Query="select data from mytab where code = 66....

 

in

Origine

 

something like this:

---------------------

 

let variab = 66;

 

let
Origine = Sql.Database("99.99.99.99", "Mydb", [Query="select data from mytab where code = variab .....

 

in

Origine

 

or any doc about ...

 thanks

Yes, just add the named variable in a previous step, for example:

 

let
    myVar = "66",
    Source = "myUrl" & myVar
in
    Source

 

 

This returns "myUrl66"

thanks, it works... (the best would be to have global variables, for all the report, but this is already helpful..)

Try looking into parameters. They can be used across queries.
