Good to see Will! Still not used to commenting here rather than in YouTube. Curious to see if anyone can make DAX easier.

Thanks for commenting! 🙂 Great question! I can definitely recommend Matt Allington, and Reza Rad for DAX videos. Yes we would like DAX to be easier 🙂

Field parameters are awesome, reduce lot of time spent on creating dynamic dimension selection within report. I wish this was implemented in TOM, not at the reporting layer, so that users need not have to create these Field parameters in every individual report. Still awaiting for "Named Sets" feature for many years, which is very common in other BI tools!

Hmm, "named set" is in Excel pivot tables. Probably left over from MDX.

I'm a big fan of Brian Grant's Elements of DAX on YouTube.

Yes, Power BI lacks these useful features.

That worked! Thanks Kelly!

I love the fact that Will likened field parameters to bookmark, in terms of how revolutionary it is. I was in a live stream just some few days ago and we kinda agreed that it really isn't very ... 🫣 to change what already works with some shiny new feature.

Made a lot of sense then, especially for someone like me that is just beginning to know enough about PowerBi to know that I don't know enough 🤓

So with bookmarks being one of my favourite things, I sure will be trying my hands on Field parameters. . . this week. DAX can wait for some few more days (not like I won't take any excuse to look away from DAX 🤪!)

Sample Dynamic Field Parameter

Hi Bharath,

Thanks for sharing your feedback! Unfortunately we don't have near-term plans to extend field parameter to the TOM. If enough demand we can consider for future improvements.
