Today, if you set a custom filter on a column, your choices for the "Enter or Select a Value" field are to filter by:
- A value that exists in the column,
- A parameter
- Create a new parameter
We need the ability to choose "A query", which returns a list of all queries that return a scalar (single) value. This would allow us the ability to set up a specific query that dynamically drills down to a value (like a year), and then EASILY use it in a filter.
Granted, we can set a filter to a hard coded value, and then replace it with a query name in the M code, but it should not be necessary. This should exist as one of the options in the existing user interface (for both Basic and Advanced filters.)

RE: Power Query - Add "Query" as a choice for Filtering Values
This is a great idea!

I like this idea.
