Hi,
I am new to the Excel query scene but I already love it. However i am having a problem that I know is very easily solved. I am generating a query from a table. I want this table to be filtered on Column2 based on a value in a cell in the sheet. I tried filtering on any value and then replacing that value with a name range that I defined but it is returning 0 values where i know that there are multiple rows. I know that I can use a parameter as filter value but I couldn't find anywhere how to define this parameter referencing a cell value.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.
