Parameters
Queries with parameters enable you to vary the results based on input values without disturbing the text of the underlying query. Basically, any string enclosed by double curly brackets {{ }}
is known as a parameter. The use of parameters in Query enables users to reuse a single instance of that query over and over again, passing different parameters values at execution time.
Data Types
When you query the data source using multiple parameters you must select a data type that supports the value. For example, a database column that contains only date values is formatted as a DATE, a spreadsheet column that contains string values is formatted as a TEXT.
