I was looking to make a Key Influencer Visual using a Field Parameter as the 'Analyze' attribute. However, it gives the following error:
'The analysis is performed at the record level of the 'Parameter' table. A field in 'Explain by' is not on the 'Parameter' table or a table from the same data source and related to it by a many to one relationship.
I think this must be a bug? Any ideas?

So

Make a single selection slicer on the Attribute and use the Value field as the field to Analyse in the visual.
The result ..
