Field Parameters Equivalent with Live Connection

I have a large transaction level sales data cube which has a live connection to Power BI Desktop. 

 

I want to build in easy buttons for end users to change the dimensions they see their sales data e.g. by Customer, Brand, Product Group, Department, Segment etc.

 

I know field parameters works with data import connection but not with a live connection.

 

I was wondering if anyone has a nice work around where I can create buttons for the user to switch between dimensions they see their sales or other measures broken up by?
