SQL Select with parameters in DirectQuery mode

Here is my code:

let
Source = Sql.Database("localhost", "DB",
[Query="select id from table#(lf)where name = '"&Name&"'#(lf)and othercondition = 0#(lf)"]),
id = Source[id]
in
id

I get "This query contains transformations that can't be used for DirectQuery."

Is there a way of running sql selects with PB parameters in DQ mode?

 

Thanks

DQ mode connects directly to the source data stays where it is, it doesn't import the data into Power bi engine/power query to make transformation on it. DQ mode doesn't allow trasformations to be made directly on the source just like Live connection mode.

Hi @Markzolotoy 

The answer is simply no, you can't use SQL statemants in DQ mode, it needs Database.

What does it mean "requires database"?
