If you use the feature to create a field parameter it returns a table with columns Parameter, Parameter Fields, and Parameter Order.
"Order" is self explanatory but between "Parameter" and "Parameter Fields," what is the difference and should I direct report builders to one or the other?
In Data View "Fields" appears to be the fully-defined (table.column) equivalent of the "Parameter", but regardless of which I put in a visual the values and filter behavior seem to be the same, but both get the shorter "Parameter" label. So I'm guessing "Parameter Fields" is used internally and I can safely hide it. Is this correct or am I buying myself trouble?
Solved! Go to Solution.
The name in the parameter column will come, Other columns are hidden by default
Parameter = {
("State", NAMEOF('Geography'[State]), 0),
("City", NAMEOF('Geography'[City]), 1)
}

}
They weren't hidden by default, perhaps this was a change with a newer version than what I have. The screen grab calrifies the intent though, thanks.
