Hi PBI Team,
My dataset is linked using 'import' and a stored procedure in SQL server. I have created dynamic parameters (start date, end date, number) where I can enter values that change the result data in 'edit parameter'. However, I am having trouble (cannot find 'Advanced' option) binding those dynamic parameters to the newly created tables.
Furthermore, can I include another stored procedure in the dynamic parameter - number so that the end user can select from a drop-down list? In fact, because the (Dynamic M query parameters) feature does not support RLS, I am attempting to implement row-level security by creating a table in SQL Server and using DAX on the table (dynamic parameter - number).
I also understand that creating a dynamic user filter using a security field in the data can be done in Tableau, however, we would prefer to find a solution in the Power BI app. Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Dynamic parameters only work with DirectQuery, that is, not in Import mode.

Hi Alexis,
Thank you so much for your advise. I apologise for the delay in responding. When I tried to use DirectQuery (exec sp proc), I received the following error message: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'exec' in Microsoft SQL. Syntax error near ')'. Then I took the following reference from the forum: Thanks.
