Difference between LIVE Connection and Direct Query to AS (PBI Dataset)?

Is it possible to use Field Parameters in a LIVE Connected Power BI Report?

@nicbottie-mon , As per doc

 

Currently you can't create parameters in live connection data sources, without a local model. However, using DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and AS (preview), you can add a local model to create field parameters. Read more about DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and AS (preview).
