Changing the Environment of a Power Apps visual using Parameters
Community SupportHi JordanImran ,
Do you want to create a table visual and put a file in it?
If yes, sorry for that power BI cannot achieve this.
Maybe you can upload your files to OneDrive For Business and copy the link based on Enter Data function, or create a Text box and insert the link.
If it doesn’t meet your requirement, perhaps you can submit the requirement to ideas and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner : https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas
Or you can try to find a solution in the power Apps forum.

Not exactly - I'm looking to build a single Power BI Template File, and move it between Development and Test Environments.
When I move the dashboard using DevOps, I can adjust SQL connection strings without modifying the dashboard. For example:
- Create .pbit file with parameter "Connection String" in the Power query data source settings
- Upon loading the Dashboard in a new environment, use PowerShell to set the parameters of the connection string like below:
Dev Connection String: user=mynamedev;pwd=mypassdev;db=mydbdev
Test Connection String: user=mynametest;pwd=mypasstest;db=mydbtest
Advantage is I have ONE .pbit file to manage.
I have a Power Apps for Power BI visual in my dashboard. However I can only change the environment to which it is connected by :
- deleting the visual
- re-adding the visual
- connecting to my test environment and selecting the test version of the app
My question is: Is there a way to change the PowerApps connections (for Power BI) using parameters, as we would for SQL connection strings?
Thanks

Doesn't help I'm afraid - more of an entry level guide.
I'll mark 'not possible' as the solution and get an idea patched to MSFT
Cheers all
