Parameters to set up database connections?

Anonymous — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 13:47:46 GMT

Greetings!

Is it possible to configure Power Query Parameter values on Power BI Report Server?

Problem:
We have *.pbix with connections configured with DEV data sources (folders, SQL Servers). We would like to be able to deploy the same *.pbix to TEST and PROD environments (Power BI Report Sever) and update the data source connection strings on the server.

Is this possible?

Thank you
