Field Parameters in Measures

Hi nitinrungta , deviln ,

did either of you ever manage to actually solve this issue?

I think in almost all cases you can solve this issue in different ways too (for instance by using calculationgroups), but there is actually one specific scenario where you really cannot do without (afaik).

I need to "interpret" the Field Parameter (rather than retreiving its name), because I'm using this to model OLS into the report, which actually deletes (hides) the normal measures from the report, breaking visuals. Refering to an actual measure, will only result in deleting the referring measure too. However, I've come to the point where I believe this simply is not possible.

I've seen the information from Alberto Ferrari, where he's describing the technical implementation of Field Parameters (basically leveraging extended properties and grouped columns). The takeaway from this is that Field Parameters seem to depend on the client application to handle this, effectively making it impossible to retreive the actual value in another measure.

I wanted to vote for this suggestion, but that link seems to fail?

Cheers
