Alternate option of bind parameter for Import Mode query

I have a Stored procedure that fetches data with help of parameters, it works well! However, I have to change parameters manually in power query editor. How can I link the slicer selections to the parameters? I imported the slicer options data in direct query mode and that has enabled the option to bind parameter but as my stored procedure query is in import mode even after binding parameter the slicer selections are not been reflected as parameters! I tried with measures but they are not reflected in the power query editor.

Hi @poojaomkar ,
Based on your description, direct interaction between the slicer and Power Query parameters in import mode is limited due to the nature of how the data is processed and stored. However, you can try combining DirectQuery and Import modes using a composite model. You can keep slicer data in DirectQuery mode and the rest of the data in Import mode. This setting helps you take advantage of the dynamic nature of DirectQuery for slicers, while managing large amounts of data in import mode to improve performance.
You can refer to the information described in this document
