Passing Parameters Dynamically in Power BI Embedded
Hello All,
I'm working on integrating a PBI report into an internal application through Power BI Embedded. As a part of this solution we have incorporated a parameter to filter the dataset down to a unique ID specific to the end user consuming the report through our internal application.
Is there a way, through the Query Parameter API, to update the parameter based off a link or existing code in our internal application?
IE: Rather than having to input each parameter value in the JSON script having a call to the URL that automatically updates the parameter based off the ID being targetted by the end user?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance
Hi cchrystal ,
As far as I know, I think you can try dyncmic M query parameters.
With Dynamic M Query Parameters, model authors can let report viewers use filters or slicers to set the value(s) for an M Query Parameter, which can be especially useful for query performance optimizations. With Dynamic M Query Parameters, model authors have more control over how filter selections get incorporated into DirectQuery source queries.

Hi, I have a similar problem to resolve. I have a dataset that is the result of a stored procedure accepting an input parameter value.
First, I have no issue to embed the report using JavaScript. But my web application, depending on the case, passes in a different parameter value. I am hoping to pass this value to the sp to each time get a different set of data (the schema is the same). I read the Dynamic M query parameters in Power BI Desktop article. But I am confused, in Power BI Desktop, I could not find the "Bind to parameters" in Model View when following the steps to set up my list table.
What do I do wrong? I have Power BI Desktop Version: 2.118.828.0 which should be the latest.
Thank you in advance for your help.
