Get Parameterized Query on Report Page

[Anonymous]

Hi Experts,

Need a help!
I am trying to create a report where data is populating via hitting an API ( contains JSON data). Now, defining a parameterised query on Power Query, so user can input the search results and retrieve live data from API.

Need that defined query on Report level, as a search so users can enter the data directly everytime and as a result, a tbale shows the data fetching from API ( in backend).

How to get the parameterised query on report level, please share your inputs.

Any help would be appreciated!

Regards,

Anjali

Hi @Anonymous ,

From what I understand you want to connect to the API and every time the user changes the value of the slicer a request will be sent to the API to return new data.

Hi Amit,

Thanks for your response! Let me add a bit more details.

We are trying to develop a report in Power BI where the requirement is to pull data hitting a REST API ( all logic resides at API end).
To present it as a report , we wrote M query as shown in the screenshot and defined a parameter to input the values.

Parameter: "Apple" meta [IsParameterQuery=true, Type="Any", IsParameterQueryRequired=true]

Whatever we input in the parameter , it should hit the API and get you the data ( and we achieved it in power query).

The challenge is we need this parameter on Report Page so users can pass the values ( as a search box) and get the result values in any form of visual.
We want to achieve it and open for suggestions. Any help would be much appreciated!
