Create dynamic parameter(s) with values stored in sql server (stored proc)

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.

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.

Dynamic parameters only work with DirectQuery, that is, not in Import mode.
