Fairly new to Power Query or the get data function. I am trying to set up a query from an Odbc data source with a dynamic parameter for the Schema. The server will always remain the same however the Schema (not entirely sure what that is?) is what will change then the table name will remain the same. I manually connected to it and attached the advanced editor below. The Z2A1 is constant and the INV table is always the table name, it is the A2$ schema that will need to change. I would loveto have this in a parameter that a user can input the correct schema whether isit A2$, A3$, etc and then refresh the query to get the updated INV table. Can anyone help with directions how to do this or is there an existing thread withinstructions? Many thanks in advance.




let
Source = Odbc.DataSource("dsn=Z2A1", [HierarchicalNavigation=true]),
#"A2$_Schema" = Source{[Name="A2$",Kind="Schema"]}[Data],
INV_Table = #"A2$_Schema"{[Name="INV",Kind="Table"]}[Data]
