Allow creating field parameters in live connection data sources
Exactly. Local measures are a thing in 'Thin reports' and it's super useful. Local field parameters without creating a dataset would be a huge deal for 'Golden dataset' environments.
The field parameter is really useful for views to dynamically select the columns or measures in the table. Similar workarounds for parameter like unpivot tables or create DAX data table aren't supported in live connection as well. Please consider adding that feature which would really help a lot.
Important to note that the field parameters created in a dataset are not usable in a live connected report. So if I add one, the option to show field values is not there...this is really needed. Hope this gets added soon!!!
I'm so surprised this does not have many more upvotes.
This is a very powerful feature in Power BI and it can even be used to properly implement OLS alongside RLS without errors. However, because it's not supported in Live reports, it's hardly worth the effort, since any serious developer will need want to reuse models, rather than repeat the refreshload for semantic models.
Obviously, besides the OLS / RLS application, this is a very useful feature in any report.
Please implement this!
