Barcode Scanner - Scanned Barcode to Parameter

Hi,

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the barcode scanner feature to pass the scanned barcode to a parameter that can be used in a Direct Query to SQL?

 

I realise the design is intended to filter a report. What I'm trying to do is ensure the query is as efficient as possible and that only one result (from the scanned barcode) is shown on the report. 

 

Any help/workarounds appreciated.

    HI KNP ,

    Barcode filter effect are works on filter level, it is impossible to pass extracted value as parameters and use on query table side. 

    Data level: parent to child(child is generated from parent, child is impossible to affect its parent level)
    Query table(query, parameter) -> data model(calculate column/table,RLS) -> data view(measure, visual, filter)

    Regards,
