Field parameters in local composite model with DirectQuery, unsupported?
Hello everyone, We currently use field parameters in our local composite model with DirectQuery, which Microsoft states as being supported: You can't create parameters in live connection data ...
Thanks for confirming and the fast reply. I think I will try the calculation group route with a switch measure to recreate the field parameter functionality inside the main model and make it hidden for the users.
Were you able to get something to work? I think I am having a similar issue with field parameters not allowing refresh in the powerBI service. I am using field parameters along with a drowndown selection to allow users to change data the visuals are showing based on the drop down selection. Not sure if calculation groups can be used in place in my case. I will have to look into that.
