Field parameter
Hey,
Got a question, I know that field parametres are filtering data based on list of choosen texts/ queries etc.
But how is it any different than using for example text search slicer? Does it have any additional meaning I'm not aware of?
Anonymous , Event M parameter is not the same as that, they can use for multiple purposes. They act as global parameters in power queries, and we can use them to control table data, in creation calendar etc

Anonymous , field parameters released in May 2022 are for dynamic Axis and Dynamic Measures. You can replace the measure and slicer using that. I do not think you can compare that with Text Search
