Hi,
I want to pass a numeric parameter into my custom SQL like below
Select .....
where.....
and FRS.SNAPSHOT_DATE_KEY > "&_SnapshotDateParam_&"
....
I have the parameter _SnapshotDateParam_ set as 20190501
However I suspect it is trying to pass the SQL through as
Select .....
where.....
and FRS.SNAPSHOT_DATE_KEY> &20190501&
....
Due to the following error I get:
Expression.Error: We cannot apply operator & to types Text and Number.
Details:
Operator=&
Left=select.......
.....
Right=20190705
I have tried several different permeations to get this working, to no avail!
Please help!

Hi @Anonymous ,
Current you can only merge t-sql string with text value. For your requirement, it means you need to add some t-sql convert type functions to convert these text type parameters.

Hi @Anonymous ,
It seems like power query not allow you direct merge numeric value and text value, you can add Text.From function to force convert parameter value fix this.
let Source= Sql.Database("testDB", "test", [Query="Select * from Calendar where Datekey >"&Text.From(DatekeyPara)]) in Source

Hi @v-shex-msft
Both are numeric though?
It appeears that the paramter is somehow being transformed into text
